A dual U.S.-German citizen has been arrested on charges that he traveled to Israel and attempted to firebomb the U.S. Embassy branch office in Tel Aviv. Federal prosecutors in New York on Sunday said the man, Joseph Neumeyer, was deported from Israel and had his initial court appearance. According to a criminal complaint, the 28-year-old Neumeyer walked up to the embassy building on May 19 with a backpack containing Molotov cocktails but got into a confrontation with a guard and ran away, dropping his backpack. He was arrested at a hotel nearby. His court-appointed attorney declined to comment.
