California Man Arrested for Mosque Bomb Plot in Michigan

HeadlineJan 31, 2011

A 63-year-old U.S. Army veteran from California has been arrested after allegedly threatening to blow up a mosque in Dearborn, Michigan. Roger Stockham was arrested last week while sitting in his vehicle outside the Islamic Center of America with a load of M-80 fireworks and other explosives in his trunk, as well as a concealed knife. At the time of his arrest, several hundred people were inside the mosque attending a funeral. Police say Stockham drove from California to Michigan to carry out the attack because of the state’s large Muslim population. The mosque is one of the largest in the country.
