(Miami Herald) The FBI has arrested a South Florida man who posted a dozen online videos making “threatening” statements about wanting to “burn” black people and kill members of different religious faiths and the military.

Mostafa Hussaini, 34, taken into custody Thursday, is being held in the Miami federal lockup until his detention hearing Wednesday. A criminal complaint charges him with transmitting threatening communications. His lawyer with the federal public defender’s office could not be reached for comment.

Hussaini came to the attention of the FBI earlier this month after a Miami-Dade resident contacted the county’s communications department, which in turn reached out to the Miami Beach Police Department about an initial four videos posted on YouTube by the suspect. FBI agents found a total of 12 videos on YouTube under Hussaini’s personal account.
