Police have arrested an American university student over a bomb plot connected to the funeral of controversial American evangelist Jerry Falwell, US media reports say.

The arrested man, 19-year-old Mark D. Uhl, reportedly told police he had made the bombs to prevent protesters from disrupting Falwell's funeral, held in Virginia yesterday.

The reports said Uhl is a student at Liberty University, a Christian institution founded by Falwell, who referred to it as a "Bible boot camp".
