An Arizona man who allegedly plotted a mass casualty attack on a Jewish or Muslim home of worship is being accused by prosecutors of possessing an notorious bomb-making guide linked to the Oklahoma City bomber.

Matthew Bjornholt, 27, faces a felony depend of making a terrorist menace in connection with his alleged plot to attack a spiritual web site.

Prosecutors in Maricopa County said Bjornholt laid out a chilling blueprint for violence that concerned weapons, explosives and an confederate tasked with gunning down survivors.

During an preliminary courtroom look on Friday, prosecutor Stephen Garcia sought a $500,000 money bond, calling Bjornholt an imminent hazard to the group, according to FOX 10.

Bjornholt allegedly outlined detailed plans to attack a spiritual web site, according to Garcia, who also claimed the suspect saved a copy of “The Anarchist Cookbook,” a guide containing bomb-making directions that has been linked to Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh.

The alleged plot included plans to detonate bombs before an confederate of Bjornholt’s would start “picking off people” with firearms, according to prosecutors.

Investigators later seized three weapons and ammunition from Bjornholt’s dwelling.

Bjornholt’s protection lawyer, Chad Schell, pushed back against the allegations, claiming that the prices are based mostly solely on unverified rumour from a disgruntled former acquaintance, according to FOX 10.

Schell instructed the courtroom that the tip came from a “homeless alcoholic” whom Bjornholt had briefly let crash on his sofa before kicking him out late last month.

Schell said federal authorities had already investigated the claims weeks in the past. Schell said the FBI executed a search warrant at Bjornholt’s dwelling on Sept. 29 and that Bjornholt voluntarily offered investigators with his digital units and passwords.

According to Schell, federal investigators discovered no proof of terrorism or bomb-making supplies and did not pursue federal prices before county authorities took over the case a couple of weeks later.

“There is no evidence he’s a danger to the community. What is the evidence that he’s a danger to the community? Some hearsay statements from some dude — that my client kicked out of his house two days before September 29,” Schell instructed the courtroom.

“Again, the FBI served a search warrant, got all of his electronic devices. He gave them access, gave him his passwords to those devices. They went through all of those electronic devices. They didn’t see anything about terrorism. And FBI cut him loose,” he continued.

Schell also argued that the three seized weapons were lawfully possessed, including that Bjornholt’s civil rights were restored after finishing a earlier sentence on a drug cost stemming from a closed first-degree homicide case. According to Schell, the homicide cost against Bjornholt was dropped because of a lack of proof.

The ammunition discovered inside the dwelling, Schell said, was no more than commonplace journal hundreds.

Fox News Digital has reached out to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office and FBI Phoenix for remark.

Despite prosecutors citing Bjornholt’s legal historical past in arguing for a bigger bond, the choose said the state’s preliminary proof relied closely on rumour and set Bjornholt’s bond at $100,000, according to FOX 10.

The choose nevertheless discovered enough possible cause to transfer the case ahead.

It stays unclear whether particular homes of worship were focused in the alleged plot or whether there was a particular confederate.

Bjornholt is scheduled to return to courtroom on Oct. 22 for a standing convention and then later for a preliminary listening to on Oct. 26.
