Suspected terrorist planned firebombing at Falwell's funeral

ABC News reports authorities have arrested a man for planning to bomb people with napalm at the funeral of Rev. Jerry Falwell. The suspected terrorist is a student at Falwell's Liberty University.

The student, 19-year-old Mark Ewell D. Uhl [Updated per ABC News - ed.] of Amissville, Va., reportedly told authorities he was making the bombs to stop protesters from disrupting the funeral service.

Three other suspects are being sought, one of whom is a soldier from Ft. Benning and another is a high school student. No information was available on a third person being sought.

Authorities were alerted to the potential bomb plot by a concerned relative of Ewell Uhl.
