Jewish bomb plotter jailed in US |

![]() FBI agents arrested Krugel and Rubin at their homes in November 2001. Investigators seized bomb-making equipment they believed was destined to be used in an attack on the King Fahd mosque in Culver City, a suburb of Los Angeles. The pair were charged in December 2001 with conspiring to bomb the mosque and send explosives to the offices of Congressman Darrell Issa, who is of Lebanese Christian descent. Krugel pleaded guilty to conspiracy to violate the civil rights of worshippers at the mosque and to a weapons charge linked to the plot against the congressman. In return, he was to escape trial on more serious charges related to the bomb conspiracy. Rubin died in November 2002 awaiting trial. Prison authorities said he slashed his throat with a knife and then either fell or threw himself from a prison walkway. Prosecutors argued that Rubin and Krugel had wanted to send a "wake-up call" to Arabs and to show that their group was "alive in a militant way". The group was founded in 1968 by a far-right US rabbi, Meir Kahane, who advocated the expulsion of all Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Kahane was assassinated in New York in 1990. |

#2 For the record, it should be obvious to all that Rubin was murdered. I believe the pair were framed in an FBI sting designed to create an image of Political Correctness to balance arrests of Islamic militants in the wake of 9/11. Krugel probably plead guilty to avoid ending up the victim of a similar "accident" as Rubin. |
