John Miller, 43, left a series of messages with the office of a U.S. senator of Nevada between Oct. 11 and Oct. 19 in the days following Hamas' attack on Israel, and threatened to assault, kidnap or murder the senator, the department said in its criminal complaint released on Monday. Rosen's office on Tuesday confirmed she was the target of the threats, adding, "Threats against public officials should be taken seriously."Miller was charged with one count of threatening a federal official and faces a Nov. 13 court hearing following his arrest last week, the Justice Department said.
In his messages, the Nevada man cited Israel's actions in its war with the militant group and threatened to "exterminate" the lawmaker, calling her "subhuman," the criminal complaint said. Miller also was turned away Oct. 18 from a courthouse in Las Vegas where he said he was going to see Rosen, becoming agitated and threatening to kill Israelis, it added.
