Chassid who became a Muslim admitted: threatened Lubavitchers

Jew who converted to Islam admitted at the investigation: I used to harass and intimidate Jewish organizations.

Story of the life of Yosef Cohen, or according to his new name Mohammad Al Katab is unusual and rare. Today he lives in New Jersey, but before he was a Baal Teshuva who became 'Neturei Karta and lived in Satmar neighborhood in Brooklyn - Williamsburg.

He then moved to Israel and settled in the settlements. Through the Internet began to correspond with Muslims around the world. At one point he converted and moved with his family to an Arab village, until he travelled to the United States. Today he lives in Atlantic City.

Newspaper the Washington Post, which reports the news, reports that al Katab established a Muslim site, through which he incited against Jews. He published a list of individuals and organizations and called on Muslims to threaten and harass them. On the list he published a list of figures of the Chabad Hasidic active center in Crown Heights in Brooklyn.

The site is set up along with another convert, named Zachary, and published there a link to a Muslim site which teaches how to make bombs.

A year ago, these two partners were indicted: one to 25 years and the second to 138 months' imprisonment.
The case against al Katab is administered by the FBI in New York.

Sentencing is coming January, and he faces a possible five years in prison.
