Two of the suspects aren’t even Americans, according to Fox News.
Fredrique Robert-Paul and Dimitri LeNy are from Canada and France, respectively.
“This was about anarchy, and this was about an attempt to destabilize,” Atlanta Chief of Police Darin Schierbaum said of the attack, according to Fox.
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp condemned the attack in his own statement, according to The Blaze.
“As I’ve said before, domestic terrorism will NOT be tolerated in this state,” he said.
“We will not rest until those who use violence and intimidation for an extremist end are brought to full justice.”
One arrestee is a staff lawyer of the far-left Southern Poverty Law Center, according to Fox.
Thomas Webb Jurgens was identified as an employee of the leftist group after being charged with domestic terrorism.
