LOS ANGELES, January 9 (Xinhua) -- A former
nuclear plant worker
in California has been arrested for making alleged
terrorist
threats against former colleagues, local media reported
Wednesday.
The unidentified 43-year-old man was arrested
Tuesday at his
home in Laguna Niguel, Orange County, after security
guards
reported he made several phone call threats to his former
colleagues at the San Onofre Nuclear Plant, 65 miles south of Los
Angeles.
In the phone calls, the man allegedly
threatened to kill his
supervisors and co-workers. After he was
arrested, police found
about 270 weapons -- including four hand
grenades -- and up to 5,
000 rounds of ammunition in his home and in a
rented storage
facility, the reports said.
During the
search, two Orange County police officers were
overcome by noxious
yellow vapor that was similar to the tear gas.
They were treated and
released from a local hospital after
suffering from
"irritation."
It remained unclear what job the man used to
hold at the plant
and when and why he was fired. But before the
arrest, he had been
barred from the nuclear facility and his picture
was posted at
security gates.
