MARENGO -The trial for a man accused of making a terrorism threat against the Amana Refrigeration Appliance factory is reset to November 29 in Iowa County District Court.
Boubker Lamkadmi, 42, is charged with threat of terrorism, a felony. He is accused of telling employees at the factory in May that he was going to "blow up Amana" because his friend and brother Osama Bin Laden was killed, according to a police report. Lamkadmi also made gestures to mock holding a rocket launcher or bazooka.
Lamkadmi told a judge during his initial appearance in May that he was "only joking."
