San Diego authorities confirmed Tuesday that the two suspected shooters in Monday's attack on an Islamic Center left behind a hate-filled manifesto that shed light into the motives of the crime.

The suspects have been identified by San Diego police as 17-year-old Cain Clark and 18-year-old Caleb Vazquez, and the pair died from apparent self-inflicted gunshot wounds.

The manifesto includes the same Nazi imagery that Clark donned in a livestream video of the attack, the Black Sun and Atomwaffen symbols, which are linked to Nazi Germany sympathizers, according to the New York Post.

“I am a straight male. I am certainly not left wing, nor am I right wing — especially not with MAGA or Trump. Politically, I’d call myself a Third Positionist, specifically aligning most with National Socialism and eco-fascism, though any form of Third Positionism,” Vazquez allegedly wrote in the memo. 

“The number one goal of this New Crusade is to restart and bring back the momentum that Saint Tarrant had started, to convince many other would be Saints that the time is now, and most importantly to kick start the race war,” he continued. “What was I religiously? It doesn’t really matter at the end of the day. As a friend once said, my religion is the white race."

The manifesto also details the pair's beliefs, and derogatory and racist views targeting a number of groups including Muslims, Jews and gay people. 

Authorities said they are still going through the manifesto and other writings, but the two suspects met and were radicalized online. Investigators are also looking into their devices and online postings to see how they were radicalized, per the LA Times.
