(AP)— Lawyers for a young man
accused of trying to detonate a bomb
at Portland’s holiday tree-lighting
ceremony suggest in court filings
that they plan to argue that the FBI
tried to steer their client into a crime.
Mohamed Mohamud's lawyers
asked Monday in federal court that
the government disclose how it
trains agents for undercover opera
tions, particularly stings such as
the one that led to Mohamud's ar
rest.
They asked for any materials "re
garding the issue of entrapment,"
adding that serious questions exist
about their client's "vulnerability,
predisposition and inducement."
The now -20-year-old Somali
American is charged with attempt
ing to ignite a weapon of mass de
struction. He has pleaded not guilty.
The men he thought were his
coconspirators were really FBI
agents and there was never a real
explosive device.
Prosecutors have until April 7 to
respond.
