OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - An
Illinois man faces terrorism charges in Oklahoma where police say he was
assembling Molotov cocktails as part of a plot to blow up dozens of
churches.
An affidavit filed Friday
in Ottawa County District Court says 23-year-old Gregory Arthur Weiler
II of Elk Grove Village, Ill., was arrested Thursday at a motel, where
police found bomb-making materials along with torn bits of paper with
directions for making Molotov cocktails.
The affidavit says when
officers patched the pieces of paper together, they also found a list of
48 local churches, a hand-drawn map of the churches grouped and
circled, and a written outline of Weiler's plan to plant bombs.
Weiler was charged Friday with threatening to use an explosive or incendiary device and is being held without bond.
