Wilmington man indicted for threats made to Boston mosque over Facebook, ammunition possession
BOSTON — A man from Wilmington was indicted Thursday after he threatened to burn down a Boston mosque over Facebook, and after being found to be a convict in possession of firearm ammunition.
Patrick Keogan, 44, was indicted on two counts in relation to threats he made to several mosques over Facebook, as well as on one count for being a convict in possession of ammunition.
The Islamic Society of Boston Cultural Center (ISBCC), an organization based in Roxbury that offers social, educational, and spiritual services, was threatened by Keogan over Facebook in November, 2015.
Keogan posted an image of a burning mosque on the ISBCC's Facebook page that read "Burn your local mosque." In his post, Keogan also said "Hello scumbags."
