“Megahed wants to begin process of becoming U.S. citizen”

SNIPPET: “TAMPA - The attorney for former University of South Florida student Youssef Megahed, who last week defeated an attempt to be deported, will ask the federal government today to act on his client’s application for citizenship.
Megahed, 23, filed for citizenship about two years ago, the same time as the rest of his family applied, his attorney, Charles Kuck, said.
Three days before the Department of Homeland Security started presenting its evidence to deport Megahed as a terrorist, his parents and older brother became American citizens.
His father, Samir Megahed, mother, Ahlam, and older brother Yahia waved American flags and pledged to fight for the United States if called to arms.
Now, Kuck wants the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to begin the process of making Youssef Megahed a citizen.”

“Man acquitted of terror charges fights deportation”
Student held as family becomes US Citizens

MIAMI —
SNIPPET: “Authorities found Mohamed’s laptop computer in the car during the 2007 arrest, and videos on the computer showed that he sympathized with Palestinian terrorists. The computer contained a video that demonstrated how to convert a remote-controlled toy into bomb detonator.
FBI special agent Frederick Humphries rehashed the 2007 arrest during his testimony Monday, explaining why authorities believed Megahed could also be associated with terrorist activities. Humphries said investigators were wary of Megahed and Mohamed’s story about road trip, wondering why the pair would leave the coastal state of Florida in search of other beaches.
Humphries also said authorities also thought it was odd that Megahed and Mohamed stopped to try and buy a firearm along the way.”
