A 26-page affidavit from FBI Special Agent Jimmy Chen filed in court Monday detailed how Kang thought he was dealing with people working for Islamic State but who were actually undercover agents. He told reporters the FBI believed Kang was a lone actor and wasn’t affiliated with anyone who poses a threat. Kang had received the highest level of combat training available in the army and was a mixed martial arts enthusiast. However, the affidavit says the army believed Kang was becoming radicalized and in 2016 asked the FBI to investigate. The document alleges he also later told the same source that “Hitler was right”, saying he believed in the mass killing of Jews.
