A new indictment adds charges against two former University of South Florida students accused of transporting explosive devices in August.
The new seven-count indictment supersedes a two-count indictment handed up in 2007 against Youssef Megahed and Ahmed Mohamed, who were arrested after a traffic stop in South Carolina on Aug. 4.
The new indictment incorporates weapons offenses against Mohamed in connection with a visit he made to a Tampa firing range in July. The weapons charges are similar to one against another former USF student recently convicted after posing for pictures holding a gun while at a firing range with Megahed.
Both Mohamed, who is from Egypt, and the other former student, Karim Moussaoui of Morocco, are in the United States on student visas and are prohibited from possessing firearms.
Megahed, of Egypt, has legal, permanent residency and is allowed to possess guns.
Megahed and Mohamed both are newly charged in the indictment with possessing a destructive device. The new indictment also includes the charge from the previous indictment of transporting explosive materials
Mohamed also is newly charged with providing material support to terrorists, carrying a destructive device while providing material support to terrorists and possessing a pistol and a rifle in violation of visa guidelines. The new indictment also contains the charge in the previous indictment against Mohamed of teaching and demonstrating the use of explosives with the intent to help terrorists.

Fry them hard.
Get a rope
I’m sure several posters will tell us how these poor guys aren’t terrorists, and were just going out to have a good time and shoot some fireworks.
It happens every time anything about this pair is posted.
More Amish ?
It’s them every time.
So he’s talking figuratively about a “personal struggle”?
“Instead of the brethren going to, to carry out martyrdom operations, no may G-D bless him, he can use the explosion tools from distance and preserve his life, G-D willing, the blessed and exalted, for the real battles.”
