Fall Church, Virginia: Several leaders of a violent neo-Nazi group have been charged with conspiring to harass journalists, church congregations and a former Cabinet official, prosecutors on both US coasts announced on Wednesday.
Some of the defendants were charged with cyberstalking and sending Swastika-laden posters to journalists, telling them, "You have been visited by your local Nazis."
"These defendants from across the country allegedly conspired on the internet to intimidate journalists and activists with whom they disagreed," John C. Demers, assistant attorney general for national security, said in a written statement.
John C. Denton, 26, of Montgomery, Texas, was charged in US District Court in Virginia with a series of hoax bomb threats that prosecutors said were aimed at drawing a heavy police response to the homes or offices of the group's targets.
