Police officers in Ogden, Utah, arrested Skyler Rose, 21, on Dec. 23 and booked him on terror, gun, bomb and drug charges after he allegedly vowed to harm Jews.

After executing a search warrant at Rose’s home, officers found “explosive devices, explosive materials and multiple firearms,” the Ogden Police Department said.

It added that the department received a tip from the FBI that Rose had allegedly threatened “serious violence,” which he “directed broadly toward members of the Jewish community and their places of worship.”

Among the charges against him are seven felony counts of possessing a weapon of mass destruction.

“I used to worry because they were black Jews, and I was more concerned that they were black,” Andrea Martin told JNS of her sons. “I never thought when I sent my kids away to college that Max would have to worry about hot coffee being poured on him in a library.”
An initial review suggested that the explosion was “likely caused by an unexploded cluster munition belonging to Hezbollah that had remained in the area,” per the Israel Defense Forces.
“Captivity was too hard to handle, and every moment you didn’t know if it was going to get even worse,” she said.
