테러 CNN 긴급 뉴스

 

Hello, everybody? I’m Betty Nguyen. Live at CNN world headquarters in Atlanta, and you are in the CNN newsroom. Alright. Let’s begin with a developing story. A message reportedly from Osama Bin Laden that’s popped up on the Internet and he is addressing Europeans basically telling them their governments must pull troops out of Afghanistan or else. Al Qaeda has recently threatened attacks in Germany where voters go to the polls on Sunday. We’ll have more on this story as the day goes on.

 

In the mean time, though, we are following the latest terrorism developments for you in our CNN Security Watch. Five men now arrested in four cities over the last seven days. All in connection with alleged bomb plots. The bureau says American Michael Fatten tried to blow up a federal court in Illinois and Jordanian Hosam Smadi targeted a Texas skyscraper. Smadi is 19 years old and into country illegally. He just appeared before a judge in Dallas and our Sean Callebs is there with details.

 

The official charge against 19-year-old Hosam Maher Husein Smadi is attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction. Authorities portray him as a would-be terrorist and say they were first drawn to Smadi about a year ago when they noticed his rants and raves(고래고래 소리지름) on the Internet saying that he wanted to unleash a terrorist attack here in the United States. FBI agents posed as undercover Al Qaeda operatives and began discussions with him online. These discussions are detailed in his ten page arrest warrants. In it, it goes on to say that Smadi said, I want to destroy targets everything that helps America on its war on Arabs will be targeted.

 

Authorities wanted to find out if he was serious about this and quickly determined that he was. Now in the end, this came to a head just a couple of days ago. Authorities provided Smadi with a car that they told him was loaded with the ammonium nitrate, C 4 and blasting caps. The same kind of material that Timothy McVeigh used to bring down the Oklahoma City federal building. Smadi drove that vehicle near where we are now to a glass building, one of the icons in downtown, Dallas called Fountain Place.

 

Once he got there, he parked the car at the base of the building, walked away, he used a cell phone that authorities have given him to remotely detonate the bomb. But he….what he didn’t know was that cell phone was actually ringing to an undercover agent. Smadi was taken into custody and is going to be here in court. Today if convicted, he could face life in prison. Sean Callebs, CNN, Dallas.
