Four Terrorists Arrested in Terror Conspiracy

Four men were indicted by a federal grand jury in Santa Ana California for their suspected terrorist plot to attack US military installations, Israeli government facilities and Jewish synagogues in the Los Angeles area, according to the US Department of Justice.

The seditious conspiracy charged in the indictment, which also included nearly a dozen gas station robberies intended to raise money for the terrorist operation, was allegedly headed by an inmate at California State Prison-Sacramento. Prison inmate Kevin James founded a radical Islamic organization known as Jam’iyyat Ul-Islam Is-Saheeh, or JIS. Recruitment of terrorists in the conspiracy began in prison, according to the indictment. Upon being released from prison, defendant Levar Washington then allegedly recruited other co-conspirators to plot terrorist acts and commit armed robberies.
