Federal prosecutors in the United States have indicted 22-year-old Skyler A.J. Rose from Ogden, Utah, who allegedly threatened to bomb a synagogue and kill Jewish people. A search of his home uncovered six improvised explosive devices, materials for constructing more bombs, two rifles, and ammunition, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.
Court documents state that on December 23, 2025, Rose posted antisemitic threats on social media, including "I want to blow up a synagogue." He also called for the murder of Jews, threatened Israel, and glorified Hitler. FBI investigators traced the threats to Rose's IP address and, with local police, searched his residence.
Investigators examining Rose's mobile phone discovered he had searched for nearby synagogues online as early as November 2025. The phone also contained hundreds of images depicting child sexual abuse material. Rose faces charges including attempted hate crime, threats of murder and explosive use, illegal possession of explosive devices, and receiving and possessing child sexual abuse material.
The indictment was approved by a federal grand jury on October 21. His first court appearance is scheduled for October 23 in Salt Lake City.
