Wife among two arrested for anti-Muslim bomb plot
Bomb-plot suspect found mentally competent (10/18/02)
TAMPA - Two more people have been arrested in connection with an alleged plot to blow up Florida mosques. Kristi Goldstein was taken into custody Thursday morning, charged with one count of illegal possession of an unregistered destructive device.
Kristi is the wife of Dr. Robert Goldstein, a podiatrist from Seminole who was arrested in August. Police believe he and an accomplice planned to target mosques across central Florida using a variety of high-powered guns and explosives.
Dr. Goldstein's arrest actually came on a tip from his wife. Her arrest, in turn, came on a tip from dentist Michael Hardee.
Hardee pleaded guilty last week in a secret hearing. Upon his arrest, Hardee claimed that he was supposed to be the getaway driver in Goldstein's plot, set for the first two weeks in September. He fingered both Robert and Kristi Goldstein as accomplices in the plot.
Hardee's confession led police to charge Kristi with helping her husband to make some of the 37 bombs they confiscated. Kristi's defense attorneys, however, claimed she is an innocent victim in the case, and point out the divorce and domestic violence injunctions she filed against her husband.
Kristi was released from jail late Thursday afternoon.

Sounds like a conspiracy to commit terror to me. I wonder if it'll be tried that way.
