A judge will decide whether a Virginia man gets 25 or 30 years in prison for plotting to detonate a suicide bomb at the U.S Capitol in an undercover sting.
Amine El-Khalifi of Alexandria pleaded guilty in June and will be sentenced Friday in federal court there. He admitted plotting with undercover agents he believed were from al-Qaida and volunteering to run a suicide operation at the Capitol, going so far as to don what he thought was a bomb-laden vest.
