White supremacist groups in the United States are encouraging supporters who contract coronavirus to spread the virus on to Jews and police officers, an FBI intelligence report has claimed.
An alert from the FBI’s New York office that was circulated last Thursday warned that “members of extremist groups are encouraging one another to spread the virus, if contracted, through bodily fluids and personal interactions.”
Neo-Nazi sympathisers were directed to spread the disease to members of the Jewish community by going to “any place they may be congregated, to include markets, political offices, businesses and places of worship.”
ABC News, which obtained the FBI’s report, said local police agencies were warned that extremists want their followers to try to use spray bottles to spread bodily fluids upon officers on the street.
