FDLE: Inmate Threatens 9/11 Style Attacks, ‘Blood Will Run’
July 13, 2019
Florida Department of Law Enforcement agents have arrested Norberto Iglesias, 53, on charges of terrorism; threat to throw, project, place or discharge any destructive device; and written threats to kill, do bodily injury or conduct a mass shooting or act of terrorism. Iglesias is an inmate at Blackwater Correctional Facility serving a 15-year sentence for grand theft and fraud.
The investigation began in April after FDLE received information that Iglesias wrote threatening letters claiming to have information about weapons and explosives throughout Florida. Iglesias threatened that “blood will run” and that people will die as they did during the 9/11 terrorist attacks. He also wrote that Miami will be a “river of blood” as a result of a terrorist war.
During an interview with investigators, Iglesias refused to provide details unless he and another unnamed inmate could serve their prison sentences on house arrest or at a hotel in Miami. Agents say Iglesias fabricated the threats to get out of prison early.
Agents served an arrest warrant on Iglesias, and he was arraigned yesterday in Santa Rosa County. This case will be prosecuted by the Office of the State Attorney, 1st Judicial Circuit.

Hmm maybe consumed a bad batch of toilet wine, and lashed out…
He probably was high on illegal contraband such as spice or k2 tunci whatevr they are calling it now days
15 minutes of fame. What a waste of time.
Actually, to claim it is going to happen is not really the same as threatening to do it yourself.
If I claimed a nuke was going to go off somewhere, I might mean I had information Lower Slobbovia was going to launch it.
David for a safe USA
The way this reads, it sounds like this man was IN prison serving a 15 year sentence for grand theft and fraud when he was arrested. How is one arrested when they are already in prison? I do not understand.
