Earl Leslie Krugel (November 24, 1942 – November 4, 2005) was the coordinator of the Jewish Defense League in the Western United States. In 2005, he was sentenced to prison on charges of terrorism after he confessed to plotting, with the group's leader Irv Rubin, to blow up the office of Arab-American congressman Darrell Issa and the King Fahd mosque in Culver City, California.[2] He was kept in protective custody for three years for the 2001 bomb plot.[3] Following his sentencing, he was transferred to a medium-security federal prison.[3] Three days later, another prisoner killed Krugel by striking him in the head with a block of concrete.[2]
