    Criminal Complaint and Arrest Warrants Sought:4.) I submit th is af f idav i t in support of a cr iminal

    complaint and a r re s t warrant(s) charging GLENDON SCOTT CRAWFORDand ERIC J . FEIGHT with conspir ing to provide mater ia l support ,or resources , intending tha t they be used in preparat ion for,or in carrying out, a vio la t ion of 18 U.S.C. 2332a (use of aweapon of mass destruct ion) , from on or about Apri l 2012through June 2013, in v io la t ion of 18 U.S.C. 2339A.

    5.) The fac ts se t for th in th is a f f idav i t are based on myown inves t iga t ion, together with information I obtained from avar ie ty of sources, including other law enforcement of f ic ia l s ,of f i c i a l FBI records , analys is of subpoena or public records ,surve i l lances , Court authorized T i t l e - I I I in tercepts ofte lephone, SMS, and ora l comm unications, a nd pen r eg i s t e rinfol;:'mation.

    6.) I have not included every fac t regarding th i sinves t iga t ion in th i s af f idav i t . I have only se t for th the fac tswhich I bel ieve are necessary to es tabl ish probable cause tobel ieve t ha t the above crime has been committed by CRAWFORD andFEIGHT.

    SUMMARY OF INVESTIGATION7.) The essence of CRAWFORD's scheme i s the crea t ion of a

    mobile, remotely operated, radiat ion emit t ing device capable ofk i l l ing human t a rge t s s i l en t ly and from a dis tance with l e tha ldoses of radiat ion. A cent ra l fea ture of CRAWFORD's weaponizedrad ia t ion device i s tha t the t a rge t ( s ) , and those around them,would not immediately be aware they had absorbed le tha l doses ofrad ia t ion , and the harmful ef fec t s of tha t rad ia t ion would notbecome apparent u n t i l days af t e r the exposure.

    8.) CRAWFORD, conspir ing with FEIGHT, and ass i s t ed byothers , has supervised and successful ly completed the building,t es t ing , and demonstration of a remote i n i t i a t ion device. He now(on or about June 18, 2013) plans to in tegra te tha t remotei n i t i a t ion device in to a t ruck-borne, indus t r ia l -grade x-raysystem, thus weaponizing tha t system and allowing it to be

    turned on and off from a dis tance and without detec t ion . Oncecompleted and fu l ly weaponized, CRAWFORD has descr ibed h isin ten t ion to provide the funct ioning radiat ion emit t ing deviceto ind iv iduals he bel ieves wil l use it to in jure or k i l l peopledeemed by CRAWFORD to be undesirable (CRAWFORD s ~ e c i f i c a l l y hasiden t i f i ed Muslims and severa l o ther individua ls /groups asta rge ts ) . CRAWFORD has researched t a rge t s and loca t ions for thef i r s t uses of h is rad ia t ion emit t ing device.

    9.) Beginning in a t l e a s t April of 2012, CRAWFORD act ivelyso l i c i t ed ind iv iduals and groups to finance h is acquis i t ion of asuf f ic ien t ly powerful x-ray system to carry out his scheme.After severa l unsuccessful so l i c i t a t i ons , CRAWFORD soon foundtw o separate groups with the apparent means and ab i l i t y to getfo r him the type of x-ray system he wanted fo r h is scheme. AtCRAWFORD, s request , these two separa te groups each haveobtained, and are prepared to make avai lable to him, an x-raysystem tha t he se lec ted or has approved. CRAWFORD has madec l ea r he intends, as soon as he has access to the x-ray systems,to connect h is remote i n i t i a t ion device in to the cont rol paneleof an x-ray systeme and render it remotely-operable as a l e tha lrad ia t ion emit t ing device. Fortunately, law enforcement wil lcont ro l the t iming of those events, as both groups present lydeal ing with CRAWFORD and h is scheme are composed of UndercoverEmployees ("UCES 11 ) and a Confident ia l Human Source ("CHS 11 ).

    10.) Within approximately s ix weeks of CRAWFORD 1 s at temptsin Apri l of 2012 to s o l i c i t f inancing fo r his radiat ion emit t ingdevice scheme from two Jewish organiza t ions , the inves t iga t ionhad a CHS in place and CRAWFORD had met with tha t CHS,descr ibing h is scheme and his rad ia t ion emi t t ing device conceptto the CHS (a l l meetings and in te rac t ions with the CHS and UCEsiden t i f i ed in th i s a f f idav i t were recorded, many with audio andvideo, except where noted) . Following t ha t meeting, an FBI UCEwas in troduced to CRAWFORD by the CHS. That combination - theCHS and t ha t UCE ( ident i f ied as UCE # 1) - forms one of the twogroups cur ren t ly deal ing with CRAWFORD. That f i r s t group i siden t i f ied here as the " f i r s t branch,, of the inves t iga t ion.

    11.) In August of 2012, CRAWFORD(unsol ic i ted and without any government roleh is home near Albany, NY to North Carolina

    5/67

    individual who i s bel ieved to be a ranking member of the Ku KluxKlan ("KKK") . At the meeting, CRAWFORD ins t ruc ted on radiat ionphysics , iden t i f ied h is planned radiat ion emit t ing device,presented h is scheme to th i s of f i c i a l of the KKK, and so l ic i tedfunds from the KKK (through th is individual) fo r h is scheme(here inaf te r iden t i f ied as the "CW"). The CW to ld the FBI abouth is meeting with CRAWFORD. Several weeks l a t e r (early October2012), CRAWFORD drove his car from h is home outside Albany, NYto Greensboro, North Carol ina to meet with the CW and twoindividuals the CW introduced to CRAWFORD as Southernbusinessmen of means who were associated with the KKK. Twoind iv iduals assumed those roles , but were FBI UCEs, referencedin th i s a f f idav i t as UCE #2 and UCE #3 ( this second groupdeal ing with CRAWFORD, composed of UCE #2, UCE #3, and the CW,i s here inaf t e r re fe r red to in th i s a f f idav i t as the "secondbranch") . CRAWFORD described to UCEs #2 and #3 h is radiat ionemit t ing device scheme, the science and concepts underlying tha tdevice, h is remote i n i t i a t ion device, mobilizing the radiat iondevice, and discussed opera t ional securi ty concerns. CRAWFORDagain so l ic i ted money to f inance h is scheme (primari ly to fundthe purchase or acquis i t ion of an indus t r ia l s t rength x-raysystem) . Both the f i r s t and second branches have ass i s tedCRAWFORD with f inancing and obtaining of par t s .

    12.) From tha t time up through June 15, 2013 CRAWFORD hass tead i ly worked to design, acquire the par t s for, bu i ld , andt e s t a remote i n i t i a t ion device to remotely turn on and o ff anindus t r ia l x-ray system powerful enough to k i l l humans from adis tance , and to render a l l of tha t equipment mobile by f i t t ingit in to a t ruck . Experts have advised the inves t iga t ion tha tthe remote i n i t i a t ion device and x-ray systems CRAWFORD plans toweaponize would produce a l e tha l , and functioning, remotelycontrol led radiat ion emit t ing device. CRAWFORD recrui ted FEIGHTto ass i s t him with the design and const ruc t ion of a remotei n i t i a t ion device. CRAWFORD knows FEIGHT through the i rassocia t ions with General Elect r ic in Schenectady, NY. CRAWFORDi s employed there as an indus t r ia l mechanic and FEIGHT i s anoutside contrac tor regular ly working with, and v i s i t i ng , tha t GEf ac i l i t y . FEIGHT has mechanical and engineering sk i l l s , and hasworked fo r years a t smal l businesses outside of Albany, NY tha tdo indus t r ia l automation work. With ass is tance from CRAWFORD,

    4

    FEIGHT has designed, iden t i f i ed and received needed par t s ,bu i l t , and successfully t es t ed a working remote i n i t i a t iondevice to remotely contro l an indus t r ia l x-ray system - whichCRAWFORD l a t e r demonstrated - and tha t remote i n i t i a t ion devicei s powered by a plug- in c igare t te l igh te r e lec t r i ca l source,consis tent with CRAWFORD's requirement to put the whole systemin to a t ruck so tha t it can be used against human t a rge ts .FEIGHT i s aware of CRAWFORD's plan tha t the remote i n i t i a t iondevice be used to remotely contro l an indus t r ia l x-ray system toin jure or k i l l human t a rge t s deemed undes i rable , and, onNovember 14, 2012, FEIGHT met with CRAWFORD, UCE #2, and UCE #3near Albany, NY to discuss the purpose of the pro jec t , assigntasks , and confirm h is capabi l i ty to design and bui ld a remotei n i t i a t ion device. Over the course of severa l months, and usinga network of others as proxies , and a t t imes ac t ing himselfunder fa l se names, CRAWFORD caused to be ordered, del ivered,purchased, held, and eventual ly dis t r ibu ted to him and FEIGHT,the par t s needed to bui ld the remote i n i t i a t ion device.

    13.) In December of 2012, the government appl ied for andreceived j ud ic i a l author iza t ion , pursuant to Ti t le I I I , toin te rcept wire and e lec t ronic communications over CRAWFORD'sce l lu la r telephone (hereafter the "Crawford Telephone"). ByJanuary of 2013, CRAWFORD had acquired, sur rep t i t ious ly , asecond ce l lu la r telephone - th is one a pre-paid TracFone tha t headvised UCEs #2 and #3, and FEIGHT, was to be used exclusivelyfor communications regarding h is radiat ion emit t ing devicescheme ( this ce l lu la r telephone i s hereaf t e r re fer red to in th i sa f f idav i t as the "Crawford Telephone #2") . Communications to ,from and over the Crawford Telephone #2 also were in te rceptedpursuant to j ud ic i a l author iza t ion and order, again pursuant toTi t le I I I .

    14.) On May 20, 2013, CRAWFORD successful ly t es t ed anddemonstrated the remote i n i t i a t ion device. Since then,CRAWFORD's primary ac t iv i t i e s re la ted to h is scheme have been toprepare for and schedule h is f i r s t access to the indus t r ia l xray systems he has tasked the two branches to get for him (whichthey have to ld him they now have and wil l soon present to him) .Once he has them, he agreed with a plan to confirm tha t the xray systems are working (complet ing whatever f ina l assembly i srequired) , and then to connect h is remote i n i t i a t ion device to

    Commencement of the Invest igat ion17.) In response to the repor ts from the synagogue and the

    Jewish organizat ion, members of the Albany Jo in t Terrorism TaskForce (JTTF) conducted physical surve i l lance of CRAWFORD.Through surve i l lance and othe r invest igat ive e f fo r t s ,inves t iga tors determined tha t CRAWFORD i s a middle agedcaucasian male who res ides a t 171 Hinds Road in Galway, NewYork, works a t General Elec t r i c ' s plan t in Schenectady, New Yorkas an indus t r ia l mechanic, and uses I owns a var ie ty of vehic lesinc luding a purple 1995 Saturn bearing New York Sta te l icensepla te GBS-1006; a red 1992 Chevrolet Camaro bear ing New YorkSta te l icense pla te EXL-3062; a red 1995 Chevrolet 2500 pick-upt ruck bearing New York Sta te l icense pla te FJR-1682; and a 2002Harley Davidson motorcycle bearing New York Sta te l icense pla te34GG57.

    18.) Short ly a f t e r receiving the information from thesynagogue and the Jewish organizat ion, the FBI introduced in tothe inves t iga t ion a Confident ial Human Source (CHS) and an FBIUndercover Employee (UCE #1) . While consensually monitoringCRAWFORD's meetings and communications with the CHS and UCE #1since l a t e May 2012, agents have heard CRAWFORD s ta te tha t heharbors animosi ty towards individuals and groups tha t heperceives as hos t i le to the in te res ts of the United Sta tesindividuals he re fe rs to as "medical waste ." CRAWFORD hasspec i f ica l ly iden t i f ied Muslims as belonging to th is group.CRAWFORD has s ta ted in consensually monitored conversat ions tha the has been a member of the Ku Klux Klan, spec i f i ca l ly , theUnited Northern & Southern Knights of the Ku Klux Klan.

    19.) On May 29, 2012, the CHS telephoned CRAWFORD on theCrawford Telephone. A shor t conversat ion was conducted andCRAWFORD agreed to meet the CHS a t a res taurant in Scotia , NewYork on May 30, 2012. On May 30, 2012, the CHS, fo r the f i r s tt ime, met in person with CRAWFORD a t the re s taurant . CRAWFORDdrove to th is meeting in h is Saturn vehicle . During th i smeeting, CRAWFORD described h is plans for acquir ing andarranging to deploy a radiat ion emit t ing device tha t could beplaced in the back of a van to cover t ly emit ionizing radiat ionstrong enough to bring about radiat ion s ickness or death agains tCRAWFORD's enemies. CRAWFORD ta lked about h is enemies, in

    par t icu la r , Muslims. CRAWFORD sa id tha t "radia t ion poisoning i sa beaut i fu l th ing," and explained how h is device would have theab i l i t y to k i l l s i l en t ly and without an immediately iden t i f iab lesource, . in par t because the human body cannot immediately detec tioniz ing radiat ion as it i s being administered. According toCRAWFORD, the device would requi re three core components: an xray tube or system tha t would emit ionizing radiat ion; a powersupply for the x-ray tube/system; and a control panel tha t couldbe used to remotely turn the device on and off (a remotei n i t i a t ing device) .

CRAWFORD s ta tedtha t he was a member of th is organiza t ion.

    21.) During th is same meeting, CRAWFORD to ld the CHS tha te ight (8) to ten (10) Grays (a "Gray" i s a uni t of radiat iondose measurement) of whole body dose ionizing radiat ion couldk i l l someone in a week or two. CRAWFORD advised the CHS tha ta l l of the par t s fo r a device tha t could emit such dosage leve lsare commercially avai lable , and tha t it would take CRAWFORD afew weeks to const ruct the device i f he had a l l of the par t s .CRAWFORD fur the r advised the CHS tha t he would already havecons t ruc ted the device i f he had suf f ic ien t resources, however,CRAWFORD noted tha t he current ly was "making arrangements" tobui ld the device.
