Jewish Defence League chairman indicted over congressman bomb plot The chairman of the Jewish Defence League has been indicted on charges of conspiring to bomb the office of an Arab-American congressman. Irv Rubin and JDL member Earl Krugel are also charged with plotting to bomb a prominent Los Angeles mosque. The indictment by a federal grand jury alleges they recruited another person to plant the bombs. That person went to the FBI, authorities say. Rubin, 56, and Krugel, 59, were arrested on December 11 and are being held without bail. The nine-count indictment supersedes charges filed shortly after the men were taken into custody. "The government has blown this completely out of proportion and is acting in a climate of hysteria," said Mark Werksman, Krugel's attorney. "This was all talk between Krugel and Rubin and an instigator who was working at the direction of the FBI." The alleged targets were King Fahd Mosque in Culver City, California, and the field office of Rep. Darrell Issa. The unidentified informant met with Krugel a dozen times from October 17 to December 11 and went shopping with Krugel for bomb components, which were stored in Krugel's garage, the indictment alleges. Rubin, who attended some of the meetings, was described as approving the plans and giving directions to the recruit. The nine-count indictment charges the men with conspiracy, conspiracy to use a destructive device, attempted arson, attempted arson at a U.S. government facility, possession of a destructive device in furtherance of a crime of violence, solicitation to commit a crime of violence, possession of a machine gun and possession of an unregistered firearm.
