Ill. man faces terrorism charge in bomb plot

OKLAHOMA CITY – An Illinois man found with bomb-making supplies in an Oklahoma motel room planned to blow up dozens of churches with Molotov cocktails, according to a police document.

Gregory Arthur Weiler II, 23, of Elk Grove Village, has been charged under a strict Oklahoma anti-terrorism law put in place after the federal building bombing in Oklahoma City in 1995.

Weiler was arrested Thursday after a worker at a motel in Miami, Okla., spotted bottles and other suspicious items in a trash bin and alerted police.
