Jordanian man sentenced to 24 years in undercover bomb plot
(CNN) -- A 20-year-old Jordanian man was sentenced Tuesday to 24 years in federal prison after he was caught, in an FBI undercover operation, trying to use a truck bomb to destroy the 60-story Fountain Place office building in Dallas, Texas, authorities said.
Hosam Maher Husein Smadi pleaded guilty in May in U.S. District Court in Dallas to attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction, which carries a maximum life sentence.
After entering the United States illegally and living in Texas, Smadi drew the attention of authorities for his comments on an extremist chat site, and undercover law officers contacted him while they posed as members of an al Qaeda sleeper cell.

Thank God he was caught before he could do major damages

Sorry sonofabitch woulda killed my best friend if he had succeeded. The sentence was way too light if you ask me. But that's just me.

The only reason the piece of shit didn't get a life sentence was a plea bargain. I'm sorry, but that kind of thing needs to go away.

Forget about being thrown in jail can't we just bury him UNDER the jail?

Their hearts most desire is to go to Allah...in pieces...send 'em.

Exactly what message are we sending when we allow plea bargaining to terrorists? Not the one I want to send that's for sure.
