Accused Dallas Bomb Sandnigger Suspect Due Back In Court
DALLAS (CBS) ― The Jordanian teenager accused of trying to blow up a downtown Dallas skyscraper is expected back in federal court on Monday. The scheduled probable cause hearing will allow prosecutors to lay out their case. A judge will determine if there is enough evidence to allow the case to go to a grand jury.
Hosam Smadi, 19, is currently in the custody of U.S. Marshals.
According to federal officials, on September 24, Smadi drove a truck that he believed held a live bomb and parked it in a garage underneath the 60-story Fountain Place building. Investigators said Smadi then allegedly sat in a car at a safe distance from the tower and dialed a phone that he thought would trigger a blast.
But, the bomb was a fake, given to Smadi by undercover FBI agents posing as members of a sleeper cell of al Qaeda.
According to federal officials, Smadi caught the FBI's attention because of online comments professing his intent to commit Jihad against the United States.
During his first court appearance, Smadi was appointed an Arabic translator and a public defender, who had little to say about the case. "We have a 19-year-old boy who is scared, who doesn't have any family hardly at all in this country, and also has somewhat of a language barrier," said defense attorney Richard Anderson.
Smadi is accused of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.
