Last night, this story was trending on Twitter under the titles "
Garden City" and "
Kansas Plot."
So far, last night and this afternoon, I have yet to see even a
mention of it on cable news. Here is a report from a local news source.

WICHITA
— Three men planned to bomb a Garden City apartment complex housing
Muslims in a post-election attack, the U.S. Attorney’s office said
Friday as it unveiled the results of a months-long investigation.
Federal
prosecutors said the men were part of a small militia group called the
Crusaders and had discussed using four vehicles filled with explosives
that would detonate at the four corners of an apartment complex, located
at 312 W. Mary St., home to Somali Muslims and containing an apartment
used as a mosque.

Hillary released this statement on Saturday.
Following
news that the FBI had charged three Kansas men for plotting to use a
weapon of mass destruction against an apartment complex in Garden City,
Kansas, that is home to many Somali immigrants, Hillary Clinton issues
the following statement:
“I applaud law enforcement for
detecting and disrupting a highly disturbing terror plot in Kansas, in
which men were allegedly planning an elaborate attack directed at Muslim
Americans, including directing four car bombs at an apartment complex
housing more than 100 men, women, and children. This plot is an affront
to all Americans. We all must stand firm in fighting terror and
rejecting hateful and divisive rhetoric–and we must do it together.
According to the FBI, their eight-month investigation uncovered ‘a
hidden culture of hatred and violence.’ We should all be grateful to law
enforcement for preventing this plot from being carried out, and as
President, I will work with law enforcement at all levels and with our
communities to make sure we have the tools we need to prevent both
domestic and international terrorist threats.”
