Federal Prosecutors Charge Four In Bombing Plots

Four central Illinois men are facing federal charges for a pair of bombing plots.  FBI agents arrested Michael Hari, Joe Morris, Michael McWhorter and Ellis Mack yesterday for an August 2017 bombing at a mosque in Bloomington, Minnesota, and a planned bombing in November of that year at a women's clinic in Champaign.  Investigators say they got a tip about bomb-making materials and weapons at Hari's house.  The FBI says it was during their investigation into the guns that McWhorter admitted his role in the 2017 bombing.  Prosecutors say he said he wanted to scare Muslims out of the country.
