A website featuring a racist manifesto mentions Charleston, South Carolina, as the target of an attack and shows several images that appear to be Dylann Roof, the 21-year-old being held in the shooting deaths of nine people earlier this week at a historically black Charleston church.
The author of the manifesto describes being drawn to a white supremacist website after becoming curious about the Trayvon Martin case.
CNN has not been able to authenticate the website where the manifesto appeared, or its contents, including who wrote the manifesto and when. The website appears to have launched in February, but it surfaced on Twitter and other social media platforms today.
