The new charges are based on a section of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 that makes it a crime to interfere with a person's right to public accommodations.

Following his surrender, Furrow reportedly told FBI agents that his attack on the Jewish center represented a "wake-up call to America to kill Jews."

In the indictment, the North Valley JCC in Granada Hills is described as a public facility, rather than a private Jewish institution, because the center accepts day-care children of all faiths and allows the public to use its swimming pool and meeting rooms for a fee.

The charges on the Ileto murder allow prosecutors to seek the death penalty, a decision that would have to be ratified by U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno.

The charges bearing on the Jewish center attack carry a potential life sentence.

Prior to the new indictment, the grand jury subpoenaed Richard Butler, founder of the Aryan Nations, the white supremacy group Furrow joined in the early 1990s.

Butler said in an interview that he was questioned about Furrow's ties to the Aryan Nations and about the Christian Identity movement, which holds that people of northern European descent are the true Israelites, but were tricked out of their birthright by Jews.

Furrow, 38, is being held in a Los Angeles prison without bail.
