Federal agents have identified the man they believe posted a broad online threat against synagogues in New Jersey but do not believe he was planning to carry out a specific plot, a law enforcement official said Friday.
The man, whose identity was not immediately released, was questioned by law enforcement and told agents he had been bullied in the past and harbored anger toward Jewish people, the official said. But investigators do not believe the man had the means or motive to carry out any specific attack, the official added.
The official could not discuss details of the investigation publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
The source of the threat “no longer poses a danger to the community," the FBI in Newark tweeted.
