California man linked to anti-Islam film to have bail hearing

A California man linked to an anti-Islam film that stoked violent protests across the Muslim world was slated to appear at a preliminary bail hearing in a Los Angeles court on Thursday, a court spokeswoman said.

Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, 55, has been under investigation by probation officials looking into whether he violated the terms of his 2011 release from prison on a bank fraud conviction while making the film. (Reuters)
