Bomb Threats Gone Bad
June 16th, 2008- by Homeland Security Blogwatch   

Computerworld has the scoop on the punishment for the young man who boasted of coordinating an attack that Osama bin Laden would refer to as “America’s Hiroshima”:

A 22-year-old Wisconsin man has been sentenced to six months in federal prison for repeatedly posting online threats that dirty bombs were going to be detonated at football stadiums in seven states.

Jake J. Brahm, of Wauwatosa, Wis., was also ordered late last week in a New Jersey federal court to serve six months of house arrest following his incarceration. In addition, he was ordered to pay $18,000 in restitution to the Cleveland Browns football team and $8,750 to the New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority, which operates Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. The money covers the reported costs the stadiums incurred when they called in extra security, including bomb-sniffing dogs and extra law enforcement officers, because of the hoax.
