Utah man indicted over alleged synagogue bomb threat and hate crime

A federal grand jury has indicted Skyler AJ Rose, a 22-year-old resident of Ogden, Utah, on multiple federal charges after he allegedly threatened to blow up a synagogue. The New York Post reported that the charges include attempting to commit a hate crime, possessing an unregistered destructive device, and threatening to kill or injure people or destroy a building using explosives.

According to the US Attorney Office for the District of Utah, federal officials emphasized that hate-motivated violence has no place in local communities. The New York Post noted that the indictment was delivered on Wednesday. [1]

As FTMQ News reported earlier, the charges followed online threats made against a synagogue. Federal prosecutors indicted Rose in Salt Lake City after investigators discovered six improvised explosive pipe bombs during a search at his Ogden residence. [2]
