The second man recently charged in a series of attacks on synagogues in Bergen County is due in court today.
Prosecutors say Aakash Dalal, 19, of New Brunswick is charged with conspiracy, aggravated arson, bias intimidation and criminal mischief. He allegedly played a role in the January attacks, which included the firebombing of a house of worship where a rabbi and several family members were sleeping upstairs.
After Dalal was arrested Friday, Bergen County Prosecutor John Molinelli characterized him as an instigator in the firebombings allegedly carried out by then-19-year-old Anthony Graziano, who has pleaded not guilty.
