Agents serving a search warrant for Conor Climo found a notebook with “hand-drawn schematics” for a possible attack in the Las Vegas area, and drawings of timed explosive devices, authorities said.
He used encrypted messaging to disparage Jewish people and members of the LGTBQ community, authorities allege. The 23-year-old also discussed attacking a local synagogue and talked about surveilling a downtown Las Vegas bar he thought catered to the LGBTQ community.
Climo had ties to the National Socialist Movement, which the FBI described as a white supremacist extremist organization that “encourages” attacks on federal government targets, minorities and members of the LGBTQ community. “Members believe in the superiority of the white race and have a common goal of challenging the established laws, social order, and government via terrorism and other violent acts.”
Climo was being held on a charge of possession of an unregistered firearm, specifically the component parts of a destructive device, officials said. If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in federal prison and a $250,000 fine.
