Egypt to Pay for Florida Internet Jihadi's Defense

The Egyptian government is going to pay for Ahmed Abdellatif Sherif Mohamed's defense and they've hired John Fitzgibbons, the same man who defended Debra Lafave.



I'm not sure how Mohamed is going to plead not guilty after admitting to putting up a video on YouTube which explained how to turn a remote control toy into an IED detonator along with a note about how he hoped this would help the mujahidin. Maybe he'll use the Chewbacca defense?

A prominent Florida defense lawyer says Egypt's government is going to hire him to represent a University of South Florida college student charged with making an Internet video showing how to use remote-controlled toys to detonate terrorist bombs.



John Fitzgibbons said Wednesday that Ahmed Abdellatif Sherif Mohamed will plead not guilty next month to of distributing information relating to explosives, destructive devices, and weapons of mass destruction. His accomplice, Youssef Samir Megahed plead not guilty today.
