Rezwan Ferdaus Denied Bail; Meanwhile, More Testimony Against Tarek Mehanna. The Washington Post has separate updates on two Massachusetts men with alleged ties to al-Qaida who are charged with plotting to kill people or otherwise blow stuff up. Rezwan Ferdaus, the gem who brought forth the idea of using remote-controlled airplanes to blow up the U.S. Capitol and Pentagon, was denied bail because he’s a “danger to the community.” As for the ongoing trial of Tarek Mehanna, who allegedly talked a lot about shooting up a shopping mall and U.S. Air Force Base, a former friend testified that the two traveled overseas to try to get into a terrorist training camp.
