The Georgia men have been charged with conspiracy to possess destructive devices.
Brian Cannon and Cory Williamson of Rome, Ga. appeared in federal court today for preliminary and bond hearings on federal charges of conspiring to receive and possess unregistered destructive devices, specifically pipe bombs and thermite devices, according to the Department of Justice.
The defendants sought to obtain the explosive devices as part of a militia operation, according to a federal complaint filed this week.
“The FBI can no longer wait to respond to the aftermath of a radicalized individual’s or group’s threats. Instead, we have to bring our investigative and analytical assets to bear in getting ahead of those threats and potential attacks and do so within the rule of law,” Ricky Maxwell, Acting Special Agent in Charge, FBI Atlanta Field Office, said in a statement.
