White Supremacists May Be Behind Cop Bombs
Police overkill on a fringe hate group or crackdown of domestic terrorists?
The Southern California homes of dozens of white supremacists were raided Tuesday as part of a probe into a string of potentially deadly booby trap attacks targeting police officers, authorities said.
Federal and local officers converged on 35 homes and took 16 people into custody in Riverside County for a variety of crimes, including weapons, narcotics and parole violations, Hemet police Capt. Dave Brown said.
None of the arrests were directly related to the booby trap attacks that have plagued the small Hemet Police Department since New Year's Eve.
"But we hope some (arrests) will lead us to our suspects," Brown said.
District Attorney Rod Pacheco said everyone arrested was connected to white supremacist groups.
"They are upset with our aggressive posture against all gangs," Pacheco said. "White supremacist gangs have been very violent, especially toward law enforcement."
Hemet police have been targeted at least three times. In one case, a ballistic device strapped to a fence at the gang unit compound sent a bullet within inches of an officer's face.
