		The WCOTC has also been linked to other crimes, including the killing of an African American man in Florida and an assault in Miami, and evidence indicates that the WCOTC may be linked to the recent fires that burned down three synagogues in Sacramento.
		In addition, evidence indicates that the WCOTC may have had a role in the fires that burned down three synagogues this past April in Sacramento.
		However, given that the World Church of the Creator's membership appears to have grown dramatically in recent years, and given that this group's propensity for violence suggests a pattern of interstate criminal activity, we believe that a full field Federal investigation is warranted.
