US soldier pleads not guilty to supplying details of plot to massacre his own unit to neonazis
US ARMY private Ethan Melzer has pleaded not guilty to terrorism offences, as he stands accused of planning a massacre of his unit by sending sensitive information to a neonazi group.
Prosecutors say the 22-year-old confessed to plotting a deadly attack during a voluntary interview with military investigators and the FBI on May 30.
According to court documents, Mr Melzer, who joined the army in 2018, planned an ambush on his unit in service of “a diabolical cocktail of ideologies laced with hate and violence.”
