A New Jersey teen has been charged in connection with a threat against synagogues in the state. The FBI uncovered an antisemitic and threatening manifesto that he allegedly shared with people through social media.
Authorities say Omar Alkattoul, 18, was arrested Thursday morning. He has been charged with one count of transmitting a threat in interstate and foreign commerce.
"This attack was just to remind the Jews that as long as 1 Muslim remains in this world they will never live a pleasant life until the Muslims in Palestine, Syria, West Africa, and South Asia are living a pleasant life," the screed continued.A teen from Sayreville has been charged with posting a broad online threat against synagogues in New Jersey, authorities announced.
Law enforcement authorities questioned him last week and don't believe he had the means or motive to carry out any specific attack, The Associated Press reported. The man told federal agents that he was angry with Jewish people because he'd been bullied in the past, a source told The AP.
