Convicted by the video.
In the video, Ahmed Mohamed, then a student at the University of South Florida, showed how to modify a plastic toy car so it could be used to remotely set off a bomb. The idea, Mohamed has admitted, was to target “infidels,” including American troops overseas, without “martyrs” having to sacrifice their lives.
For that, Mohamed was sentenced Thursday to 15 years in federal prison, the maximum allowed under the law for the charge he pleaded guilty to, providing material support to terrorists.
