(NASHVILLE, Tenn.) -- A Texas man was indicted by a Tennessee jury on Thursday for threatening to bomb a mosque in Murfreesboro, Tenn.
Javier Alan Correa, 24, of Corpus Christi, Texas, was indicted by a federal grand jury in Nashville, Tenn., and charged with one count of intentionally obstructing by threat of force the free exercise of religious beliefs and one count of using an instrument of interstate commerce to communicate a threat to destroy a building by means of an explosive device.
Authorities said on September 5, 2011, Correa made a telephone call from Corpus Christi, Texas, to the Islamic Center of Murfreesboro and left an explicative-ridden voice message threatening that "on September 11, 2011, there’s going to be a bomb in the building."
