OPINION:

I agree SlowBoat407.

I also think that like the surge in Iraq; one can’t let up on the surge against the MS-13’s activities.

Prosecutors balk a information request in USF explosives case

Federal prosecutors say they shouldn't have to give defense attorneys more information about a terrorism charge against a former University of South Florida student.

Attorneys for Ahmed Mohamed have filed a motion asking a judge to order the prosecution to specify what terrorists stood to benefit from a video Mohamed is accused of making and posting on the Web site YouTube. The defense also asked in the motion — known in legal parlance as a request for a bill of particulars — for specific information about the intended victims.

In the video, the prosecution says, Mohamed demonstrates how to use a remote-controlled toy to detonate a bomb. As a result, Mohamed was charged with trying to help terrorists by teaching or demonstrating the use of explosives.

Mohamed is also charged, along with fellow Egyptian citizen Youssef Megahed, with illegally transporting explosives. The pair were arrested Aug. 4 in South Carolina after deputies there said they found explosive devices in the trunk of their car. The defense maintains the devices were homemade fireworks.
