A Minnesota judge on Monday granted federal prosecutors an additional 60 days to get a grand jury indictment against three Illinois men accused of bombing a Minnesota mosque last summer.

Michael McWhorter
Federal prosecutors in Minneapolis last week filed a criminal complaint charging Michael McWhorter, Michael B. Hari and Joe Morris, 22, with maliciously damaging the mosque by means of fire and explosives.

In March, prosecutors charged 47-year-old Michael Hari, 29-year-old Michael McWhorter, and 22-year-old Joe Morris in the pipe bombing of the Dar Al Farooq Islamic Center in Bloomington.

Any indictment must now be filed by June 22, according to Monday's order.

The three men are expected to remain in Illinois for the time being to face federal machine gun charges related to the attempted bombing of a clinic in Champaign, Ill., that performs abortions.
