Feds: What did Texas couple plan to do with cyanide?
NOONDAY, Texas (AP) ?- William Krar and Judith Bruey assembled a frightening arsenal in three rented storage units in this East Texas town, and federal authorities are trying to figure out why.
A raid in April found nearly two pounds of a cyanide compound and other chemicals that could create enough poisonous gas to kill everyone inside a space as large as a big-chain bookstore or a small-town civic center.
Authorities also discovered nearly half a million rounds of ammunition, more than 60 pipe bombs, machine guns, silencers and remote-controlled bombs disguised as briefcases, plus pamphlets on how to make chemical weapons, and anti-Semitic, anti-black and anti-government books.
The findings have led to one of the most extensive domestic-terrorism investigations since the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing.
Federal investigators believe conspirators may remain free, and one question lingers: What did the couple intend to do with the weapons?
