Florida man arrested for threatening to bomb mosque

May 16 (UPI) -- Federal prosecutors charged a Florida man Tuesday for threatening to bomb a mosque.

Dustin Allen Hughes, 26, of Cutler Bay, Fla., is charged with willfully making a bomb threat by telephone and faces 10 years in prison if convicted.

According to prosecutors, Hughes called the Jamaet Ul Muttaqueen Mosque in Pembroke Pines, Fla. on May 5 and left a threatening voicemail message.

"I planted a bomb in your temple, I'm gonna blow your [expletive] temple up you [expletive] Muslim," Hughes is accused of saying. "Where you guys have your sanctuary and worship Allah, I'm gonna blow that mother [expletive] up."

He admitted to agents that he did it when they went to his home.

Besides the criminal and moral aspects of his actions, he's a real dumbass for confessing without legal counsel.

Anyway, a bomb squad searched the mosque thoroughly and it came up clean. The perp said that he wanted to "scare and upset them".

Well, who's scared and upset now, being nabbed by the Feds and in jail for the foreseeable future, eh Dustin?
