Accused Dallas Bomb Sandnigger Suspect Due Back In Court

DALLAS (CBS) ― The Jordanian teenager accused of trying to blow up a downtown Dallas skyscraper is expected back in federal court on Monday. The scheduled probable cause hearing will allow prosecutors to lay out their case. A judge will determine if there is enough evidence to allow the case to go to a grand jury.

Hosam Smadi, 19, is currently in the custody of U.S. Marshals.

According to federal officials, on September 24, Smadi drove a truck that he believed held a live bomb and parked it in a garage underneath the 60-story Fountain Place building. Investigators said Smadi then allegedly sat in a car at a safe distance from the tower and dialed a phone that he thought would trigger a blast.

But, the bomb was a fake, given to Smadi by undercover FBI agents posing as members of a sleeper cell of al Qaeda.

According to federal officials, Smadi caught the FBI's attention because of online comments professing his intent to commit Jihad against the United States.

During his first court appearance, Smadi was appointed an Arabic translator and a public defender, who had little to say about the case. "We have a 19-year-old boy who is scared, who doesn't have any family hardly at all in this country, and also has somewhat of a language barrier," said defense attorney Richard Anderson.

Smadi is accused of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.

How many of these plots and cases have to be publized before the Western governments understand that maybe these Peace-Loving MUSLIMS do not belong anywhere in the Western Civilized World?

Answer: It doesn't matter, throw open the borders; it's all job security. Spend and keep spending all the money possible on National Security and Homeland Security and fighting 3 BS wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Pakistan while the supporting white tax base keeps dwindling and the leeching nigger populaiton keeps growing eponentially...Yep, THAT IS THE ANSWER..

Muslim terrorist tries to use insanity/mental illness defense

Defense in Dallas terror plot to depose Jordanians in Amman

The defense team for Hosam "Sam" Smadi, the Jordanian national accused of trying to blow up a Dallas skyscraper last year, is expected to travel to Jordan at the end of the month to depose as many as 16 witnesses.

U.S. District Judge Barbara Lynn granted the defense team's request late last month and ordered the depositions to take place at the U.S. Embassy in Amman with government representatives present. The government will also be able to question the witnesses.

Among those expected to be questioned are Smadi's relatives, a teacher, social workers and doctors.

The defense hopes the witnesses will bolster its contention that Smadi is a mentally ill young man who was entrapped by the government and harbors no hatred of America.

"The defendant seeks to present evidence that Hosam Smadi grew up in a religiously tolerant environment in Ajloun, Jordan; that he went to a Christian school, attended Christian services, sang Christian hymns; that his parents taught him that God loves all people regardless of religions," his attorneys wrote in recently filed court documents.

Claims of depression

The documents further state that Smadi began to exhibit signs of depression and mental illness when his mother and father separated and that he "completely fell apart" when his mother died of brain cancer. According to the documents, Smadi came to America to change his environment, and he loved America and had no associations with hate groups.

Smadi, 20, was arrested Sept. 24 after federal officials said he parked what he thought was a car bomb in a garage under the 60-story Fountain Place building in downtown Dallas. Once he was a safe distance away, Smadi dialed a cellphone that he thought would detonate the explosives, federal officials have said. The bomb, which had been provided by FBI employees posing as an al-Qaeda sleeper cell, was inert.

The FBI has said it started communicating with Smadi after discovering him on extremist Web sites.

Smadi, who was living south of Dallas in Italy, was indicted Oct. 7 on one count of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction and one count of bombing a public place.

In their motion requesting to take depositions in a foreign jurisdiction, public defenders Richard Anderson and Peter Fleury list 16 people with whom they wish to speak, citing "exceptional circumstances" and say there is no guarantee that the witnesses could afford to travel to the U.S. or would be allowed entry to testify live before a jury.

The attorneys stated that they needed to create and preserve their testimony through video and written depositions.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Dayle Elieson opposed the motion, arguing that the defense failed to show that each witness is unavailable and that the testimony of each one is material, among other things.

The judge granted the defense's request and ordered that the depositions take place between March 22 and April 9 in Amman. Smadi, who remains in federal custody, has waived his right to be present during the depositions.

His trial has been scheduled for June 7 at the Earle Cabell Federal Building in Dallas.

Potential witnesses

Here are some of the defense team's potential witnesses and what they might testify to, according to court documents:

• Essar Mazareh, Smadi's English teacher at the Ajloun Baptist School: "Hosam sang Christian hymns and learned about Jesus, and accepted joyfully this education. ... Hosam was a normal, happy, apolitical child."

• Omar Momani, Smadi's cousin and a nurse: "Hosam Smadi was devastated by his parents' divorce and his mother's death. Hosam was not political nor religious and was happy to go to America. He went to America because it was believed he needed a change of environment."

• Mustafa Smadi, a childhood friend and college student: "Hosam Smadi has never been interested in politics or religion, but was interested in playing computer games. Hosam Smadi had a very tough time dealing with the death of his mother. He was placed in a home or center for children at one point."

• Dr. Ziad Momani, the physician who treated Smadi's mother: "She had cancer. Hosam acted strangely during his mother's illness."
