Suspect in foiled Capitol bombing to appear in court
A 29-year-old Moroccan man accused of trying to bomb the U.S. Capitol building is scheduled to appear at a court hearing Wednesday in Virginia.
Amine El Khalifi was nabbed last week after allegedly trying to attempt the suicide attack, the Justice Department said. On Friday, the suspect went to a parking garage near the Capitol building and received what he believed was a vest with explosives and a firearm. He was arrested before exiting the garage and charged with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction against government property.
