Member of hate group cuts a dealEarl Krugel has now pleaded guilty regarding a conspiracy to bomb an American mosque.
The 60-year-old Jewish Defense League (JDL) member may ultimately end his life in prison based upon the terms of his plea agreement reports Associated Press and Fox News.
According to the deal negotiated with prosecutors Krugel will serve no less than ten years in prison for his involvement in the bomb plot.
The FBI arrested Krugel and his JDL leader Irv Rubin in December of 2001.
Rabbi Meir Kahane founded the JDL in 1968. A Moslem fanatic murdered him in 1990.
Kahane was not unlike other charismatic hate group leaders such as William Pierce and Osama bin Laden who largely defined their groups through the power of their individual personalities.
The hate-filled rhetoric of the radical rabbi was often described as extremist and incited violence. One man associated with an Israeli Kahane-connected organization murdered 29 Moslems at prayer in a Hebron mosque.
Fortunately it seems the FBI stopped Rubin and Krugel before they could wreak havoc and death on a mosque.
In 1994 the party Kahane founded in Israel was outlawed and later declared a foreign terrorist organization by the United States State Department.
Now perhaps the JDL's reign of terror will end. Without Rubin or some other strong personality to fill its present void, perhaps the JDL will fade away.
