A Oklahoma man is facing a federal charge after authorities 
say he called Tulsa International Airport on Christmas Eve and reported that a 
drive-up nuclear bomb would be detonated there.
 
Federal prosecutors in Tulsa say 64-year-old Anthony John Michalski was charged Monday with one count of 
providing false information about bombs at an airport. According to an FBI 
officer's affidavit, Michalski admitted to making the bomb threats. He told 
investigators he was being held hostage by a terrorist organization.
 
Michalski's family told investigators he has a history of mental illness. Court records 
don't indicate if Michalski has an attorney.
