Plot to Bomb Colorado Synagogue Thwarted by FBI
Congregants at a Pueblo, Colorado, synagogue targeted in a white supremacist’s bomb plot say they won’t be intimidated by the threat. “We’re not victims, and we won’t be victims and we’re going to defend ourselves,” says Temple Emanuel president Michael Atlas-Acuna. Richard Holzer, 27, was arrested Friday after he admitted to federal investigators – who were posing as co-conspirators – that he was planning to blow up the synagogue using pipe bombs and dynamite.
