A man was planning to detonate improvised explosive devices at a white nationalist rally at Bluff Park in Long Beach with the purpose to cause mass casualties, the FBI said on Monday.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An army veteran, Mark Stevens Domingo, who had combat experience in Afghanistan was arrested on Friday after he was set to deliver a explosive that he thought was real to an officer who was posing as the bomb maker.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to U.S. Attorney for the central district of California Nicola Hanna, Domingo purchased several hundred 3 inch nails to attach to the IED because the nails would be long enough to penetrate the human body.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Domingo also made known to pledge allegiance to the Islamic State, and wanted to retaliate after the mosque attacks in New Zealand.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThere must be retribution,\u201d Domingo said in an online post, \u201cAmerica needs another vegas event.\u201d
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The rally in Bluff Park saw a sizable police presence to ensure the safety of those who attended the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
