After the death of Gordon Kahl, who was Mormon, in June of 1983, Richard Wayne Snell, a fellow neo-Nazi white-supremacist friend of Kahl’s began targeting the Murrah Building in Oklahoma City for a retaliatory bombing. Kahl and Snell were both members of the radical Mormon fundamentalist “Christian Identity” group known as The Covenant, the Sword and the Arm of the Lord (CSA), which was founded by James Ellison and Kerry Noble who were both polygamist Mormons.
