Sikh temple shooter had white supremacist ties: FBI.
US federal agents believe the slain suspect in a deadly attack on worshippers at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin had ties to white supremacist groups, a senior investigator said. Special Agent Teresa Carlson, head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Milwaukee field office, confirmed that 40-year-old suspect Wade Michael Page is the subject of a "domestic terrorism" probe following Sunday's massacre.
"We are looking at ties to white supremacist groups," Carlson told a news conference a day after Sunday's shooting, in which six people attending a service at a suburban Milwaukee temple were gunned down. "We did not have an active investigation on him before yesterday," she said. "No law enforcement agency had any reason to believe he was plotting anything. "We are working on it as a possible domestic terrorism case," she added. "The definition of domestic terrorism is the use of violence for social or political gain. That's obviously what we are looking at."
Investigators also released a picture of a second man -- who was white, with short brown hair and a muscular build -- who they described as a "person of interest" and who raised suspicions when he joined crowds viewing the police cordon outside the temple on Sunday. They urged members of the public to come forward with any information on Page, the person of interest or any other details which may help their investigation.

Kurt Nimmo: Sikh Shooter a Former Psyop Soldier Linked to FBI’s National Alliance - The National Alliance, like most white supremacist groups, is controlled by the FBI. In 2007, its supposed leader, Green Beret David Kellerman, said he worked for the FBI. During a trial on weapons charges, Kellerman “said he went to work for the FBI with orders to infiltrate the National Alliance, a neo-Nazi group, in 2000 and relay intelligence. The group’s founder wrote a book that is widely believed to have inspired the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing,” the Miami Herald reported. The FBI has run racist and white supremacist groups since the 1960s. Under COINTELPRO, the FBI “subsidized, armed, directed and protected the Ku Klux Klan and other right-wing groups,” Brian Glick writes. Racist groups were used to create a strategy of tension by attacking groups on the so-called left, including anti-war, Chicano and Puerto Rican activists and nationalists. It now appears the government has taken its psyop to the next level.
