The JDL has been criticized for alleged links to terrorist activity. Its chairman, Irv Rubin, 56, and another member have reportedly been arrested by members of a federal anti-terrorism task force (reported on December 12, 2001) on suspicion of plotting to bomb a Los Angeles mosque and the office of US Congressman Darrell Issa, a Christian of Arab-American descent.
