JACKSONVILLE (CBSMiami/AP) — A north Florida man accused of helping to plan a domestic terror attack is due in federal court on Tuesday.
Joshua Goldberg reportedly sent bomb-making plans to a FBI informant and suggested he target a September 11th commemoration in Kansas City, Missouri. No bomb was produced.
Goldberg was arrested last week after catching authorities' attention earlier this year in online posts calling for an attack on a contest for drawings of the Prophet Muhammad in Garland, Texas.
The government says Goldberg also used online aliases to boast about helping gunmen plan attacks on synagogues in Australia.
The 20-year-old is charged with distributing information relating to explosives, destructive devices and weapons of mass destruction.
