Illinois Man Accused of E-Mailing Bomb Threat to Islamic Group
http://ap.tbo.com/ap/breaking/MGBZ3YVQ1CE.html

TOLEDO, Ill. (AP) - A man is accused of sending an e-mail bomb threat to the headquarters of an Islamic civil rights group, the Department of Justice said.

Max Oakley, of Toledo, allegedly sent an e-mail on July 29 threatening to blow up the Washington, D.C.-based Council on American-Islamic Relations unless it agreed to close down.

Police searched CAIR's building, but did not find any evidence of explosives, U.S. Attorney Kenneth Wainstein said. CAIR officials then contacted the FBI and Washington police, who were able to trace the e-mail back to Oakley. He was arrested Friday.

"The guy wasn't exactly a rocket scientist. He sent the e-mail with his name clearly indicated in the address," CAIR spokesman Ibrahim Hooper said.

5. I do think the recent London bombings have cause increased tension-
and hate in both England and here in the USA.

4. How does that old saying go?
If you leave a monkey at a computer long enough he'll eventually type out a complete sentance. Damn this happened in my own state.
