PITTSBURGH (AP) -- A 37-year-old western Pennsylvania man has been indicted for allegedly threatening to kill President Bush and blow up the White House on the anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, authorities said.

James Trauger, of Mars, about 15 miles north of Pittsburgh, sent threatening e-mails to the White House on Sept. 11, according to an indictment handed down Dec. 17.

If convicted, Trauger faces as many as 10 years in prison and a $500,000 fine, assistant U.S. Attorney William Snyder said.

Trauger did not have a telephone number listed in Mars and could not be reached for comment by The Associated Press on Monday. It wasn't immediately clear if he had an attorney.

You are one of the few that know that next to Mars is Callery, and there is only one.

I grew up in Moon, PA.

One of my favorite highway signs is the one you see when coming out of PIT that reads, "Moon Beaver". <|:)~

When your in Clinton, be sure to stop by Hillary's boutique... Le Bovine Swinette.

It's right next to the rendering plant.
