NEWS… BUT NOT AS YOU KNOW IT
A man was arrested after making online threats against Jews, which prompted statewide security precautions at synagogues last week.
Omar Alkattoul, or Sayreville, New Jersey, was charged with making an online threat to injure others. He is due to make his first appearance in court on Thursday afternoon.
Alkattoul, 18, was arrested after he posted a document he wrote on an unidentified social media site entitled ‘When Swords Collide.’
According to a federal criminal complaint, Alkattoul also expressed interest in violence against LGBTQ people, Christians and churches, and Shia Muslims, but Jews and synagogues seemed to be his primary fixation and the main topic of his document.
