TAMPA – Ahmed Mohamed is scheduled to enter his guilty plea to a terrorism charge Wednesday morning.
U.S. Magistrate Mark Pizzo this morning scheduled the 10:30 a.m. hearing in the case of the Egyptian national and former University of South Florida student.
Mohamed signed a plea agreement Friday in which he pledged to plead guilty to the charge of providing material support to terrorists by making and posting on the Web site YouTube a video in which he shows how to use a remote-controlled toy to detonate a bomb.
Mohamed was arrested, along with another then-USF student, Youssef Megahed, on Aug. 4 in South Carolina after deputies said they found explosive materials in the trunk of the car in which they were riding.
Megahed still faces trial on a charge of transporting explosives.
