Liberty Student Arrested on Bomb Charges
May 23, 2007 12:52 AM EDT

LYNCHBURG, Va. - A Liberty University student was arrested after telling a family member he had made bombs and planned to attend the funeral of the Rev. Jerry Falwell, authorities said.

Mark David Uhl, 19, was arrested Monday night on charges of manufacturing an explosive device, Major Steve Hutcherson said. A family member notified authorities.

Officials were still trying to figure out why Uhl made the bombs and what he intended to do with them. "I do not believe it was their intent to disrupt the funeral service," Campbell County Sheriff Terry Gaddy said. "We do not believe the Falwells were ever in any danger."

The funeral proceeded Tuesday at Thomas Road Baptist Church without incident. The church on the campus of the university, which Falwell founded.

Gaddy described the five bombs as "sort of like napalm" and about the size of soda cans.

Investigators determined that Uhl had problems with a group that protested at the funeral, Gaddy said. The group, the Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church, sent about a dozen members who claimed Falwell was a friend of gays to protest across the street. The group also has picketed soldiers' burials, claiming the deaths are God's punishment for a nation that harbors gays.

Falwell frequently spoke against homosexuality, and gay rights advocates have consistently opposed him. A group of Liberty University students staged a counterprotest; it wasn't clear whether Uhl was involved.
