Robert J. Goldstein of
37 was arrested in Tampa, Florida in August 25, 2002 after
authorities found a
stash of explosives and weapons in his home. The arsenal included
two
anti-armor rockets, a
.50-caliber sniper rifle, hand grenades, assorted guns and assault
rifles and 20 homemade
bombs. The police discovered as well a list of some 50 Florida
mosques and plans for
destroying an Islamic education center using bombs.
The Florida office of
the Council on American-Islamic Relations said that the state is not
being taken seriously
enough by law enforcement authorities, elected officials, religious
leaders, or the media.
The Islamic civil rights
and advocacy group also demanded that local and federal authorities
inform the Florida
Muslim community about what is being done to apprehend accomplices
referred to in the man’s
written attack plans.
