Arizona: Accused White Supremacist Remains in Custody over 2004 Bombing – former Ku Klux Klan leader Dennis Mahon

AP reports: “Ruling bars release of man arrested in 2004 bombing”
— “An alleged white supremacist charged in a 2004 bombing that injured a black city official in Scottsdale will remain in federal custody because he poses a threat to the community and is a flight risk, a judge ruled Tuesday.”
— “The ruling, from U.S. District Judge David Campbell, reverses an Illinois federal magistrate’s order in July to release Daniel Mahon, 58, on a $50,000 cash bond.”
— “‘No conditions of release would reasonably ensure the safety of the community,’ Campbell wrote in his ruling. ‘Daniel has described himself as a domestic terrorist and has espoused views against not only minority groups but the government generally.'”
— “Daniel Mahon and his twin brother, Dennis Mahon, were arrested in the bombing June 25 at their home in Davis Junction, Ill., where authorities say they found assault weapons, hundreds of rounds of ammunition and white-supremacist material.”
