It looks like a white supremacist, turned to the Islamic faith, and possibly prevented a dirty bomb in Florida.
Man, you can't make this shit up!
EXCERPT
Shortly after news broke that Devon Arthurs, an 18-year-old Muslim convert and former white supremacist, killed two of his friends for attacking his new faith, more details have been revealed surrounding the revenge murders.
According to the Miami Herald, Brandon Russell, Arthurs roommate, was in possession of multiple materials meant to build explosives, including a lethal bomb-making chemical named hexamethane triperoxide diamine. Russell was arrested on May 21 during a traffic stop in Key Largo, and police have not yet revealed why he was pulled over or what he was doing in the Florida Keys.
While in his bedroom, devices used by police bomb technicians alerted to the presence of radiation sources thorium and americium.
Russell returned home from National Guard duty on May 19 to find that the 18-year-old had killed their friends. Its unclear whether the bomb was intended for Arthurs or for another person or group.
