The Council on American Islamic Relations claimed that Egyptian students Youssef Megahed and Ahmed Mohamed, arrested near a naval base in South Carolina, were only “naïve kids” with “fireworks,” persecuted by racist authorities simply because they were Muslims.
Today the Charlotte Observer reports that Megahed has admitted to the FBI that he produced a video to teach jihadis how to make remote-controlled bombs, “to be used against those who fought for the United States.”
In a 12-minute video posted on YouTube, an Egyptian man wearing a white shirt, khaki pants and rubber gloves explains in Arabic how to turn a toy boat into a bomb.
His name is Ahmed Abdellatif Sherif Mohamed, and last month he was arrested in Goose Creek after authorities found four PVC pipes containing a mixture of potassium nitrate, kitty litter and sugar in his car’s trunk.
Mohamed told FBI agents he made the video to teach “those persons in Arabic countries to defend themselves against the infidels invading their countries,” according to federal court documents released late Tuesday.
Specifically, he told the FBI “the technology which he demonstrated in the tape was to be used against those who fought for the United States.”
