NATIONAL BRIEFING / ARIZONA
Two white supremacists from Illinois have been indicted in a 2004 mail bombing that injured the diversity director in the Phoenix suburb of Scottsdale, federal authorities said. Twin brothers Dennis and Daniel Mahon are charged with conspiracy to damage buildings and property by means of explosives.
The indictment says the brothers intended to “promote racial discord” on behalf of the White Aryan Resistance, a decades-old group based in California.
The package detonated in the hands of Don Logan, who is black, on Feb. 26, 2004, in the city’s Human Resources Complex. Logan and a secretary were injured.
Authorities arrested the brothers in their Davis Junction, Ill., home, and say they had assault weapons, hundreds of rounds of ammunition and white supremacist materials.
