WINGNUTS

Caught by undercover agent who built the weapon.

According to federal prosecutors, a Utah militia leader attempted to detonate a bomb at a Bureau of Land Management facility in Arizona. William Keebler, 57, of Stockton, Utah, was arrested after having allegedly placed a pipe bomb against a BLM cabin he reportedly scouted with the late Oregon militia occupier Robert LaVoy Finicum. He was caught because the person he assigned to build the remote-detonated bomb was an undercover FBI agent. Keebler was charged Thursday in U.S. District Court with attempting to blow up federal property.
