Man indicted in plot to blow up Federal Reserve

NEW YORK

Bangladeshi national /*Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis*/ is charged with using a weapon of mass destruction.

He's also charged with trying to provide material support to alQaida.

Federal authorities arrested Nafis in a sting operation last month.

He allegedly tried to detonate what he thought was a one-thousand-pound bomb by using his cell phone as a trigger. The bomb was a fake.
