It doesn't say how they will prove anything against him. Did he lie to the FBI, etc?

This guy is just the tip of the iceberg. There have to be hundreds is not thousands of sleeper terrorists just waiting for their marching orders.

I'd say it's up to the jury to judge whether the evidence is compelling. Some want proof beyond any doubt. Some accept reasonable proof.

He was staying in a hotel room that had a guest room safe in it. Inside the safe was the ground to air radio, his passport and other identifying materials. When interviewed they asked him if he had the ground to air radio. He said no. Of course, when the radio is locke in your roomsafe along with your passport, it is a pretty good indication he is lying.

Does that answer your question?

Higazy admits he has expertise with communication devices: "Higazy told agents he had served in the Egyptian Air Corps and had some expertise in communications and communications devices."

The FBI finds the radio in his room safe: "The radio was found inside the room's safe on top of other items, including the passport and a copy of an Arabic book, according to the complaint."

He denies knowledge of it: "Bruno said Higazy denied ever seeing the radio when he was asked about the transceiver, which is marketed for use by pilots, enabling them to communicate air-to-air and air-to-ground with other pilots or to monitor other pilot conversations."

It was found on top of his passport; therefore, he's the one who put the radio in the safe. Open-and-shut case. My guess is he was coordinating the attacks from the ground--keeping the hijackers informed of what they might expect at ground zero.
