From Fox News: An American citizen was charged with attempting to firebomb a U.S. Embassy branch office in Israel, the Justice Department announced on Sunday.
Joseph Neumeyer, 28, who also holds German citizenship, was found last week outside the embassy office in Tel Aviv with a backpack containing several Molotov cocktails, federal prosecutors said.
He is charged with attempting to destroy, by means of fire or explosive, the U.S. Embassy.
Neumeyer is a resident of Colorado. He went to Israel in April, according to authorities. In May, he posted messages on Facebook that allegedly expressed his intent to target the embassy.
“Join me this afternoon in Tel Aviv we are burning down the U.S. embassy,” one post read. “Join me as I burn down the embassy in Tel Aviv. Death to America. Death to Americans and f— the west.”
According to the report, Neumeyer was deported from Israel to the U.S., where he appeared in a New York federal court on Sunday. The court ordered that he be held pending trial.
“As alleged, Neumeyer, armed with potentially lethal devices, sought to cause chaos and destruction at the United States Embassy in Tel Aviv,” U.S. Attorney Joseph Nocella, Jr. said.
Additional reports say Neumeyer called for President Trump’s assassination as well.
