On 26th July 2002, a Federal Court in Boston, Massachusetts sentenced two convicted neo-Nazis of planning to carry out acts of terrorism against Jewish and Afro-American institutions in the city. The two of them, Leo Felton, 30, a member of a neo-Nazi movement recently released from prison, and Erika Chase, 22, were arrested while in the process of preparing an explosive charge made up of fertilizer materials. They intended using the charge against which they called “mud people” – Jews, Blacks, Asians and other minorities. Among the targets mentioned were the Jewish film producer Steven Spielberg, the Reverend Jesse Jackson and the Reverend Al Sharpton. They also suggested the use of nerve gas on memebers of minorities and blowing up the Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C.
