At around 10am on Dec 12 a group of four Left-wing extremists parked up in California’s Mojave Desert and went to work.
As they unloaded their cars, stickers saying “free Palestine” lay scattered on two small trestle tables, along with bags of charcoal powder, sulphur and suspected potassium nitrate.
Members of the pro-Palestinian activist group Turtle Island Liberation Front had driven out into the Lucerne Valley to practise making pipe bombs as part of “Operation Midnight Sun”, a New Year’s Eve terror plot to target two US companies, according to a criminal complaint.
