On Friday, the FBI arrested a man in St. Louis, Missouri, believed to be behind at least eight of the recent bomb threats against Jewish community centers. Juan Thompson, 31, allegedly made the threats "as part of a sustained campaign to harass and intimidate" a woman he used to be in a relationship with, authorities said. Thompson has been charged in New York for cyberstalking by making bombs threats against Jewish community centers in the woman's name.
