FBI agents say they disrupted a possible plot to threaten or kill employees of a major U.S.-based pro-Israel organization before the first night of Hanukkah, according to court documents reviewed by CBS News. A Gainesville, Florida, man is accused of attempting to travel to the south Florida offices of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee on Dec. 22 and 23, to "scout" the area and return later with "concealed" firearms, according to the documents. Forrest Pemberton, who faces a federal stalking charge, is accused of traveling to the organization's offices with the intent of "killing, injuring, harassing, and intimidating" people with the group. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee, known as AIPAC, is a national advocacy organization that champions issues involving Israel to Congress and the White House.
