Earl Krugel, 62, was killed Friday evening at the Federal Correctional Institution, where he was imprisoned for his role in a bomb plot against a Southern California mosque and the office of a Lebanese-American congressman. Lawyer Mark Werksman questioned why Krugel was transferred to the medium-security prison last week. He had been in protective custody at Los Angeles' federal Metropolitan Detention Center in recent years, Werksman said. "There were death threats against him precisely because he was a militant Jewish activist," he said. FBI Special Agent Richard Murray said a homicide probe was under way but wouldn't confirm whether officials suspected White supremacists or other inmates. Prison officials referred all calls to the FBI. Family members said Krugel had been at the Arizona prison for three days and died after an inmate struck him in the head with a concrete block.
