Bombing of Mosque Connected to Militia Group
The indictment against Michael Hari, 47, Michael McWhorter, 29, and Joe Morris, 23 were filed Wednesday, but not unsealed until Thursday. They face civil rights and hate crime violations in the firebombing of the the Dar al Farooq Islamic Center in Bloomington, MN.
According to the Bring Me the News Minnesota, the three men formed a militia group known as the White Rabbits. They had already been charged with arson in connection with the bombing of the mosque, but now also face civil rights and hate crime charges for allegedly “interfering with … free expression of religious liberty.”
