Stanley C. Jaroszenski: Terrorist
From the L.A. Times, via L.A. Observed. Oddly, although he mailed real or threatened biological weapons together with politically threatening messages to public officials, there's no mention of the Patriot Act or special circumstances of terrorism. He just got arrested by cops. Maybe it's the last name.
Most of the letters that Stanley C. Jaroszenski is accused of sending also contained hypodermic syringes with needles, authorities said.
Jaroszenski, 64, was taken into custody without incident at his downtown residence after being named in a 117-count federal grand jury indictment accusing him of mailing threatening letters and injurious devices.
Last June, federal officials said, the field office of Rep. Linda T. Sanchez (D-Lakewood) was evacuated after one such letter arrived, warning, "CIA to kill Sanchez."
In February, they said, one floor of Childrens Hospital Los Angeles was evacuated after a letter arrived declaring "Kill Chinese murderers" and "Chinese Poison + Cancer in Your Body N-O-W."
Thirty-two letters threatened Jews and typically contained the message: "A good Jew is a dead Jew."
The most recent letter, mailed April 2, was sent to Los Angeles Police Chief William J. Bratton and accused him of being a child molester.
