CBS 11 Investigates Poison Gas Plot

Nov 26, 2003, 3:30 pm US/Central
CBS 11, Dallas/Fort Worth [Link, includes video]
By Robert Riggs
With Investigative Producer Todd Bensman

Federal authorities this year mounted one of the most extensive
investigations of domestic terrorism since the Oklahoma City bombing, CBS
11 has learned.

Three people linked to white supremacist and anti-government groups are in
custody. At least one weapon of mass destruction - a sodium cyanide bomb
capable of delivering a deadly gas cloud - has been seized in the Tyler area.

Investigators have seized at least 100 other bombs, bomb components,
machine guns, 500,000 rounds of ammunition and chemical agents. But the
government also found some chilling personal documents indicating that
unknown co-conspirators may still be free to carry out what appeared to be
an advanced plot. And, authorities familiar with the case say more
potentially deadly cyanide bombs may be in circulation.

Since arresting the three people in May, federal agents have served
hundreds of subpoenas across the country in a domestic terror investigation
that made it onto President Bush's daily intelligence briefings and set off
national security alarms among the country's most senior counter-terror
officials.
