Man Gets 10 Years For Planting Bomb
An Orthodox Jew was sentenced to 10 years in prison Tuesday for planting a pipe bomb at a Jewish center to try to prevent former Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres from speaking.
Harry Shapiro, 31, planted the pipe bomb at the Jacksonville Jewish Center in February and pleaded guilty a month later. The device found nine days later, was a dud.
Shapiro was sentenced for using an explosive to threaten an internationally protected person.
