WHITE supremacist groups in the US are calling on supporters who contract coronavirus to pass it on to Jewish people and police officers, according to the FBI.
Intelligence reports from its New York office claimed: “Members of extremist groups are encouraging one another to spread the virus, if contracted, through bodily fluids and personal interactions.”
ABC News reported on Sunday that an FBI alert was sent to local police forces last week warning that the far-right groups were urging their members to use spray bottles to attack officers on the street.
