When news broke that three men planned to bomb a Garden City apartment complex housing Muslims, Imam Omar Hazim, leader of the Islamic Center of Topeka, said he was shocked.
“I’m glad the FBI and local authorities did a good job in preventing it and arresting the people who created the plot,” he said.
Curtis Allen, 49, and Gavin Wright, 49, both of Liberal, and Patrick Eugene Stein, 47, of Wright, were indicted Wednesday with one count of conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction.
