Difference (from prior major revision) (no other diffs)

Removed: 11,12d10

After 1987, when several JDL members were convicted on terrorism charges, JDL terrorist activity appeared to have ceased. More recently however, its chairman, [Irv Rubin]?, 56, and another member were 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.

Changed: 15c13

On December 12, 2001, [Irv Rubin]?, the Chairman of JDL, and Earl Krugel, a member of the organization, were officially charged with conspiracy to commit an act of terrorism. The two were allegedly caught in the act of planning a bombing of Arab-American Congressman [Darrell Issa]?'s office and the King Fahd Mosque in Los Angeles. The two were arrested as part of a sting operation when they received a shipment of explosives as Kugel's home in L.A.

After 1987, when several JDL members were convicted on terrorism charges, JDL terrorist activity appeared to have ceased. There is some evidence, however, that the JDL may have recently recommenced terrorist activity. On December 12, 2001, [Irv Rubin]?, the Chairman of JDL, and Earl Krugel, a member of the organization, were officially charged with conspiracy to commit an act of terrorism. The two were allegedly caught in the act of planning a bombing of Arab-American Congressman [Darrell Issa]?'s office and the King Fahd Mosque in Los Angeles.
