Phoenix, AZ - Indictment In Federal Prison Killing Of Jewish Defense League Activist

Phoenix, AZ - An Arizona prison inmate has been charged in the killing a Jewish Defense League activist who was imprisoned with him.

Federal prosecutors say David Frank Jennings has been indicted for first-degree murder in last November's killing of Earl Krugel at the Federal Correctional Institution in Phoenix.

Krugel, from the Los Angeles area, was serving time for his role in a bomb plot against a California mosque and the office of an Arab-American congressman. Krugel had been at the prison for three days and died after being hit in the head with a concrete block.
A former Krugel attorney questioned why Krugel had been transferred to the medium-security prison with no protective custody, which he'd had in Los Angeles in the years after his arrest.
