From Morning Report, 6:39 am on 2 May 2019

US authorities have released details about a veteran's plot to bomb a white supremacist rally in California as retribution for the Christchurch mosque attacks. Mark Domingo was arrested last week after visiting a park in California where authorities say he planned to plant home-made explosive devices at the Nazi rally scheduled for last Sunday. US Attorney Nick Hanna told a news conference that Domingo supported ISIS and spoke about becoming a martyr. After Domingo began to discuss seeking revenge for the Christchurch attacks a confidential source working for the FBI spoke to him about his plans. The source then connected him with a bomb-maker who was actually an undercover police officer. FBI teams arrested him shortly after he recieved the bombs.
