BOSTON -- Federal prosecutors plan to ask a judge this week to keep a Massachusetts man locked up as he awaits trial in an alleged terror plot.
A detention hearing is scheduled Thursday for Tarek Mehanna, a 27-year-old Sudbury man accused of conspiring with two other men to shoot people at shopping malls and to kill two prominent U.S. politicians. Authorities say Mehanna and the other men tried, but failed, to get into terrorist training camps in the Middle East. They are also accused of plotting to kill Americans in malls and U.S. servicemen in Iraq. Mehanna is charged with conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists, conspiracy to kill in a foreign country and other charges.
