Their suspicions were confirmed the following day when they executed a search warrant and found the mask, sweatshirt and gloves inside Malindretos’ car.
Malindretos was charged with the attempted use of fire to damage and destroy a building used in interstate commerce. He faces a 20-year maximum sentence and a fine of $250,000.
Despite New Jersey police’s belief the attempted bombing was a biased attack, it’s not yet clear whether federal prosecutors will seek hate crime charges.Rabbi Marc Katz of Temple Ner Tamid had said the synagogue was able to withstand the hate-fueled attack thanks to recent security upgrades funded by the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness.
“We were able to avert the worst because the device the person was throwing didn’t make it through the front glass doors,” Katz said.
