Just the News, the Washington Examiner and Fox News report that a federal grand jury in Salt Lake City indicted Skyler AJ Rose, 22, of Ogden, Utah, on charges including attempted hate crime and possessing an unregistered destructive device. The outlets say a search of his home found six improvised explosive pipe bombs and one inert device. They say Rose allegedly posted online threats in December 2025, including one to blow up a synagogue. The U.S. Attorney’s Office said the threats were stopped before anyone was harmed.
