Opening statements in explosives trial, Goose Creek Case

TAMPA - A federal prosecutor in Tampa says the items found in an Egyptian college student's car could be combined to make a destructive "incendiary bomb."

In a case with terrorist overtones, prosecutor Jay Hoffer told a jury Wednesday that 23-year-old Youssef Samir Megahed is guilty of transporting explosives and possessing a destructive device.

But an attorney for the former University of South Florida student said those items -- PVC pipe containing a mixture of sugar, potassium nitrate and cat litter, plus fuses -- were the makings of model rockets, and his client didn't even know his companion had put them in the trunk.

Megahed and another Egyptian student were arrested in South Carolina in August 2007 after a traffic stop.

    • Exactly right.

    • Like the 700 Afghnis released by 2006 held as "terrorist" in Gitmo...then released ...when Americans admitted that they "had been gamed, lied to and had the WRONG people for THREE YEARS (undergoing "enhanced" interrogation)...so GET IT WRONG and KILL them because they are Arabs? WHY do you think they were stopped?

      If YYOU think that the NEXT terror attack in the US is coming from an Arab...you're stupid...it's coming from a blond haired, blue eyed Chechen or Muslim Ser More..
