RUTHERFORD, N.J. - An unemployed high school graduate accused of firebombing two New Jersey synagogues in recent weeks has pleaded not guilty.
Through his attorney, Anthony Graziano entered his plea in state Superior Court in Hackensack on Wednesday morning. He's being held on $5 million bail after being charged with attempted murder, arson and bias intimidation.
Authorities say the 19-year-old Graziano was responsible for fires at synagogues in Paramus and Rutherford this month. They traced the materials in some of the bombs to a Wal-Mart store and captured surveillance images of a man buying the materials. The man was later identified as Graziano.
In the Jan. 11 firebombing at the Rutherford synagogue, a Molotov cocktail was thrown through a second-story window where a rabbi and his family live and started a fire.
