US man to plead in plot to blow up Pentagon
None
A man charged with plotting to fly remote-controlled model planes packed with explosives into the Pentagon and US Capitol will plead guilty to two charges, his lawyers and prosecutors said in a plea agreement filed in federal court Tuesday.
Rezwan Ferdaus, a Muslim-American with a physics degree from Boston's Northeastern University, was arrested in September after federal employees posing as al-Qaeda members delivered materials he had allegedly requested, including grenades, machine guns and what he believed was 24 pounds (11 kilograms) of C-4, a plastic explosive.
