A State Department employee was indicted yesterday on charges that he threatened and intimidated employees of the Arab American Institute, including James Zogby, the president of the organization.

“The only good Lebanese is a dead Lebanese. The only good Arab is a dead Arab,” Syring said in a voice-mail message left late July 17, 2006, after he read comments made by Zogby that he regarded as offensive, the indictment says.

“You and your Arab American Institute . . . should burn in the fires of hell for eternity,” he wrote in an e-mail, according to the indictment.
