I don't know this Christian group's true motive as I've never heard of them before but as I see it, and I'm happy to be proven wrong, they are End Timers, that is Christians who believe what is written in Revelations is true in that one day all the Christians will be taken from the Earth by Jesus in what is called "The Rapture". Those left behind will soon enter a 7 year 'tribulation period' which will start off with 18 month of peace and relative calm after what will no doubt be a cataclismic period in human history. At this time a world leader will rise up and promise peace, he'll be charismatic and seen as a leader for change (imagine what Blair was like in 1997 and Barak Obama in his first week in office). This person will turn out to be the antichrist but is loved so much that no-one will possibly think of that. In secret he will try to turn society against Christians (after the rapture it is expected many will realise what has happened and turn to the bible and become christians) to the point that all Christians will be persecuted and put to death. There's a lot more to it (google 'end times' and 'left behind') but this is what I think is the crux of the matter for this terrorist group.
I think they're preparing for what they think is the war against Christians. For those who seem to consider my views very important, I disagree with what they're doing.
