A former US Marine plotted an attack against a synagogue in Long Island among other acts of mass murder and sexual assault with the goal to "decrease the number of minority residents" in the United States, FBI prosecutors said this week.

Matthew Belanger, a member of the neo-Nazi group "Rapekrieg," was arrested on June 10 in New York and charged with trying to purchase an assault rifle and handgun under false pretenses.
In a July 14 court memo, prosecutors said that Belanger was in fact plotting very serious crimes as part of the neo-Nazi group, including an attack on an unnamed Long Island synagogue with firearms and homemade explosives. The memo says Belanger trained with airsoft guns in the woods of Long Island as part of a plot to attack the "Zionist Order of Governments."
Belanger's ideology, the memo says, centers around a desire to reduce the number of non-white Americans and to rape "white women to increase the production of white children."
