St. Louisan accused of threatening Jewish institutions

A former journalist fired for making up details in stories is behind at least eight of the scores of threats made against Jewish institutions nationwide, as well as a bomb threat to New York’s Anti-Defamation League, in an effort to harass and vilify his ex-girlfriend, federal officials said Friday. Juan Thompson, 31, was arrested in St. Louis and appeared there in federal court Friday on cyberstalking charge.
