Jordanian man Arraigned in Plot to Blow Up Dallas Skyscraper
The Fountain Place building in Dallas, Texas is seen on September 25, 2009. According to the FBI, Jordanian citizen Hosam Maher Husein Smadi parked a vehicle laden with government-supplied fake explosives in the underground parking garage of the 60-story tower in downtown Dallas. Smadi's arrest yesterday was part of an FBI sting operation that began after an agent monitoring an online extremist Web site discovered Smadi espousing jihad against the U.S. more than six months ago.
