Man Indicted for Plotting Attack on Pentagon, U.S. Capitol
(CNN) A federal grand jury in Boston has indicted Rezwan Ferdaus, 26, a U.S. citizen, for allegedly plotting to use remote-controlled model aircraft filled with C-4 plastic explosive to attack the Pentagon and U.S. Capitol, the U.S. Department of Justice said Thursday. Ferdaus began planning a violent "jihad" against America in early 2010, authorities said, after apparently being radicalized by watching videos on the Internet. He began supplying FBI undercover agents with cell phones rigged to act as electric switches for improved explosive devices, intended to be used to kill U.S. soldiers overseas.
