Utah man charged with attempted hate crime after alleged threat to 'blow up' synagogue

Nuts or merely vicious? He does not appear to be connected to Islamic jihad.
[FOX] A Utah man is facing several charges, including attempting to commit a hate crime, after he allegedly threatened to "blow up" a synagogue.

Skyler AJ Rose, 22, of Ogden, was indicted by a federal grand jury on Wednesday, on multiple federal charges, including possession of an unregistered destructive device, threatening to kill or injure people and destroy a building with an explosive, and attempting to commit a hate crime, among other offenses, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Utah.

"There is no place for hate motivated violence—attempts or otherwise—in our communities. A place of worship should be a refuge of safety, not fear," U.S. Attorney Melissa Holyoak for the District of Utah said in a statement. "Thanks to the dedicated work of the FBI and the outstanding efforts of our local police partners, these alleged threats were identified and stopped before anyone was harmed. Let these charges serve as a clear warning: if you attack or attempt to attack a place of worship, you will face the full force of the federal government."

On Dec. 23, 2025, Rose allegedly made multiple threatening posts on social media, according to court documents.

US federal prosecutors on Thursday charged a man in Utah with a hate crime and other offenses for a threat to bomb a synagogue.

Skyler AJ Rose, 22, allegedly made threats on social media in December 2025, including “I wanna blow up a synagogue.”

Investigators traced the statements to an IP address where Rose lived with his mother and his “toddler-aged sibling,” investigators said.
Elsewhere on the internet he is described as an Ogden man.
Rose’s mother allowed officers to search the home. The investigators found six improvised pipe bombs, two rifles and ammunition in Rose’s bedroom, court filings said.

The home and neighboring residences were evacuated until the bombs were disarmed due to the explosives’ potential volatility.

Investigators also found materials to construct more bombs, including precursor chemicals, pipes, end caps and ball bearings.

On Rose’s cell phone, investigators found that he had searched for the address of a synagogue three miles from his home on Google Maps.

The indictment said Rose also posted, “Backwards Jew scum,” “Death to Israel,” “Death to all Jews I will devote my life to killing you,” and, “Heil Hitler!” Other messages referred to Jews as “children of Satan.”

“I cannot forgive the terrorist state of Israel who shelter pedophiles and trafficks (sic) the little ones. Death be upon you Jews for I bring fire and brimstone,” he posted, followed by American flag emojis.

Investigators also found hundreds of child pornography images in Rose’s possession.

He was charged with a threat to kill and injure with an explosive as a hate crime, possession of an unregistered destructive device, and two child pornography charges.

Rose had previously been charged in a Utah state court.
