(Amarillo, Texas-AP) - A federal grand jury in Texas has indicted a prison inmate on charges of plotting to kill the Denver judge who presided over the bombing trials of Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols.

The indictment says Christopher Lee Bennett solicited two men in January 2001 to kill US District Judge Richard Matsch.

Bennett was in prison at the time of the alleged offense.

In late 1995, he began serving a 99-year sentence for a capital murder in El Paso.

Information about how Bennett allegedly communicated with the two men was unavailable as was the nature of the relationship between Bennett and the pair.
