Man Arrested In Mass. On Terrorism Charges
BOSTON (CBS) ― A man was arrested Wednesday on federal terrorism charges for allegedly planning attacks inside and outside the United States - including a plot to attack people at a mall.
Twenty-seven -year-old Tarek Mehanna was taken into custody at his parents' home in Fairhaven Circle by federal agents and Sudbury police early this morning.
He is charged with conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office in Boston.
