Robert Curtis Doyle, left, Ronald Beasley Chaney and Charles D. Halderman were arrested Sunday, Nov. 8, 2015. Charging documents say the men planned to rob a jewelry store to stockpile weapons, ammunition and explosives for a "race war." They hoped to use weapons to attack black churches and synagogues.

Two of three men arrested for attempting to buy weapons from an undercover agent — which they had hoped to use to attack black churches and Jewish synagogues — are due in court Today.

The men tried to buy an automatic weapon, explosives and a pistol with a silencer from three undercover agents posing as illegal firearms dealers, court documents said. A third man, Charles D. Halderman, their associate, is charged with conspiracy to commit robbery.
