Two Americans belonging to a far-right movement were arrested on Friday after seeking to "join forces" with the Hamas terrorist group, the US Justice Department said.

Michael Solomon, 30, and Benjamin Teeter, 22, members of the so-called "Boogaloo Bois," were charged with "attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist group," according to a ministry statement.

The boogaloo movement is known to law enforcement as a loosely organized American far-right anti-government extremist "militia," and seek to incite a second American Civil War which they call the "boogaloo."

FBI arrested the two men after they contacted a police informant, believing that he was a representative of Hamas in the United States.
