| Egyptian student pleads not guilty in US explosives case |
| 2007-10-25 |
| An Egyptian university student accused of making an Internet video demonstrating how to make an explosives detonator pleaded not guilty to federal charges Wednesday. An attorney for engineering student Ahmed Abdellatif Sherif Mohamed, who has been suspended from the University of South Florida, entered a written plea of not guilty for his client. He was scheduled for arraignment Thursday. Mohamed, 24, will remain jailed on federal charges of distributing information relating to explosives, destructive devices, and weapons of mass destruction. He also faces additional charges with another Egyptian student, Youssef Samir Megahed, 21, of carrying explosive materials across state lines. |

| #4 You know what pisses me off about stuff like this? , I mean, besides nutjob jihadis running around doing typical nutjob jihadi things. It's that it gives the traditional boyhood pastime of blowing stuff up a bad name. In today's world, our little band of pyro-chemists would all have been in the slammer by junior high school. |

| #2 Oh, yeah. The fireworks boys... Mohamed told authorities he made the video "to assist those persons in Arabic countries to defend themselves against the infidels invading their countries," according to the agent's statement. Mohamed said "he considered American troops, and those military forces fighting with the American military, to be invaders of Arab countries," the statement said. Hey. That's kinda like what we consider snot nosed Egyptian jihadi wannabe college kids who show up here and want to blow up Americans... |
