A member of a Topeka, Kansas church challenging Nebraska's ban on flag mutilation will be exempt from that law for a protest outside an Omaha soldier's funeral.

State Attorney General Jon Bruning says he'll have Megan Phelps-Roper arrested if she violates another law that prohibits picketing within 300 feet of a funeral or memorial service.

U.S. District Judge Richard Kopf on Thursday granted Phelps-Ropers' request for permission for two Omaha protests, including one Saturday morning near Spec. Edwin Wood's funeral service at Dundee Presbyterian Church at 53rd and Underwood Avenue.

The ruling came after state and local authorities agreed to an extension of a previous injunction of the flag law that applied only to Phelps-Roper, a member of Westboro Baptist Church known for protesting at soldiers' funerals. Members claim that U.S. military deaths are God's punishment for the country's tolerance of homosexuality.

Spec. Wood was killed last week by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan. Flags will fly at half-staff in Nebraska on Saturday in his honor.
