SEATTLE, Sept. 14 (UPI) -- A Seattle-area man charged with using his car in a failed attack on two U.S. Marines is tied to another man charged in a suicide bombing plot, prosecutors say.

Prosecutors filed assault charges Tuesday against Michael McCright of Lynnwood, SeattlePI.com reported. McCright was arrested Thursday.

McCright, who allegedly also uses the name Mikhial Jihad, has been charged with trying to run a uniformed Marine sergeant off the road. Prosecutors said the sergeant, who was behind the wheel of a government car, and another Marine who was in civilian clothes, spotted another driver who apparently became angry when he saw the uniform.
