Scuzlim Found Guilty of Hate Crime in Bomb Scare Plot Targeting Christian Churches Across the U.S.

A federal jury has found 45-year-old Zimnako Salah of Phoenix, Arizona, guilty on multiple counts after he targeted Christian churches across three states with hoax bomb threats, motivated purely by anti-Christian hatred.

Following an 11-day trial, the jury returned its verdict Thursday, concluding Salah planted a backpack at a Christian church in Roseville, California, in an attempt to simulate a bomb threat.

The device, strapped to a church toilet, was intended to terrorize innocent congregants and obstruct their right to worship.

The jury found that Salah specifically targeted the church because of the Christian faith of its members—legally designating this act as a hate crime.
