Last week, two members of the New Black Panthers activist group were arrested in a federal sting after they attempted to purchase firearms illegally, and it turns out there was much more to their plot.
According to St. Louis Today, the two men indicted on federal weapons charges also planned to bomb the Gateway Arch and assassinate St. Louis County Prosecutor Robert McCulloch and Ferguson Police Chief Tom Jackson, but apparently they had a small issue with financing.
Brandon Orlando Baldwin and Olajuwon Davis, also known as Brandon Muhammad and Olajuwon Ali or Brother Ali, allegedly bought what they thought was a pipe bomb from undercover federal agents. Sources close to the investigation told STLToday that they had planned on purchasing two additional bombs, but couldn’t afford to do so until one of the suspect’s girlfriends had the money on her Electronic Benefit Card replenished.
