The 18 year old American-Israeli who has been charged with bomb threats against Jewish community centers in the U.S. also allegedly threatened a Delaware state Senator.

The Israeli indictment not only includes the centers a threat against state Senator Ernesto Lopez.

The young man is reported to have offered his intimidation services in exchange for Bitcoin.

WBOC says that Lopez had no comment but referred to a press statement in which he condemned the threats and thanked law enforcement agencies who worked on the investigation.

An American indictment has identified the suspect as Michael Ron David Kadar.

He was arrested last month after an investigation by the FBI and international law enforcement agencies.
