Three Kansas men convicted over mass 'slaughter' plot targeting Muslims
Three men have been found guilty of plotting to bomb Somali immigrants at a mosque and apartment complex in the USA state of Kansas.
Following a four-week trial, the three were convicted on Wednesday of one count of conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction and one count of conspiracy against civil rights.
The three men, who were members of a militia group in Kansas, wanted to detonate four parked vehicles filled with explosives outside the apartment complex in Garden City to "wake people up", officials said.
A sentencing date of June 27 has been set.
The FBI was tipped off about the men by a fellow member of the militia and an investigation began.
U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions called the verdicts a significant victory against domestic terrorism and hate crimes.

In particular, Stein called the Somali immigrants "cockroaches" on multiple occasions. Prosecutors allege they tried to recruit other members of the Kansas Security Force to join them.
As Fox News reported, Stein specifically referenced the type of bomb materials used in the deadly 1995 attack on a federal building in Oklahoma City.
"We welcome the guilty verdicts in this disturbing case and hope that anyone considering turning bigoted views into violent actions will see what their fate will be when apprehended and prosecuted by law enforcement authorities", said Moussa Elbayoumy, chairman of the Kansas chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Defense attorneys have said their clients were entrapped by the federal government's use of an informant who provided the three men with maps and encouraged the use of bombs.
"The FBI was out to get a headline, to make an example out of these men", Allen defense lawyer Melody Brannon said in court, according to the Guardian.
The men meant to park a vehicle packed with explosives at each corner of the complex and detonate them, prosecutors said.
Prosecutors told jurors that the defendants manufactured homemade explosives and tested them.
