FBI Warns '2000' May Spark Violence
By David A. Vise and Lorraine Adams
Washington Post Staff Writers
Sunday, October 31, 1999; Page A1

The FBI is warning police chiefs across the country that it has discovered
evidence of religious extremists, racists, cults and other groups 
preparing for
violence as New Year's Eve approaches and is urging law enforcement 
agencies to
view the dawn of the next millennium as a catalyst for criminal activities.

The FBI says those most likely to perpetrate violence are motivated either by
religious beliefs relating to the Apocalypse, or are New World Order
conspiracists convinced the United Nations has a secret plan to conquer the
world.

In a 34-page report prepared by the bureau's domestic terrorism unit, the FBI
says some members of militias and racist groups, including one called
"Christian Identity" and another called "Odinism," are acquiring weapons and
surveying targets in anticipation of the millennium.
