FBI foil bomb plot in US
Description
US federal agents have said they stopped a Somali-born teenager from blowing up a van full of explosives at a crowded Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Portland, Oregon.
Mohamed Osman Mohamud, age 19, was arrested just after he dialled a mobile phone that he thought would detonate the explosives.
Instead, it brought federal agents and Portland police swooping down on him.
Yelling "Allahu Akbar!" - Arabic for "God is great!" - Mohamud tried to kick agents and police as they closed in, according to prosecutors.
Prosecutors say the bomb was a dud supplied by undercover agents as part of the sting and the public was never in danger.
Mohamud, a naturalised US citizen living in Corvallis, Oregon, was charged with attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction.
He is scheduled for a court appearance on Monday.
