Man admits he tried to bomb office

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- A Kansas City man pleaded guilty Thursday to a failed attempt to firebomb an office for U.S. Rep. Emanuel Cleaver.

Eric G. King admitted he threw two Molotov cocktails at the building in midtown Kansas City on Sept. 11, 2014. One device didn't go into the building, and the second did no damage.

Cleaver was in Washington, and no staff members were in the building at the time.

King pleaded guilty in federal court to using an incendiary device to commit arson. He faces a minimum sentence of 10 years in federal prison.

Prosecutors said King had expressed anarchist beliefs on social media and was a potential suspect in other anti-government vandalism in the city.

King's sentencing has not been scheduled.
