An armed man is arrested for planning to attack an AIPAC office in Florida.

The American pro-Israel lobby thanks the FBI for thwarting the attack.

“We take these threats very seriously and we are working closely with law enforcement concerning this matter,” AIPAC tells The Times of Israel.

“We will not be deterred by extremists in pursuing our mission to strengthen the relationship with America’s valued ally, Israel. We are deeply appreciative of the FBI’s work to stop this individual,” AIPAC says.

The FBI declines to comment.
