A 19‑year‑old white supremacist teenager from Palatine, Illinois, Alexandros Paporakis, was arrested in the United States after authorities uncovered an alleged plot to attack a Hindu temple in the Aurora area.
Police seized a manifesto outlining white supremacist ideology and referencing violence against people of Indian descent, and a rifle that jammed during preparation, thwarting the attack.
Investigators say the plan targeted a Hindu place of worship, highlighting concerns over hate‑motivated violence and prompting a broader probe into extremist threats. The manifesto’s explicit references to Indian‑descent targets underscore the case’s potential as a hate crime.
