Thirty-five-year-old Paul Rockwood Jr was sentenced to prison for eight years, the
maximum
sentence for lying to FBI agents. Authorities say he compiled a list of 20 names including members of the military and media who he considered enemies of Islam.

setting, authorities say, he researched how to make a bomb and how to shoot people in the head.
