Egyptian student to get trial in immigration court

TAMPA, Fla. -- An Egyptian college student acquitted of federal explosives charges will be tried again by immigration authorities who will determine whether he should be deported.

Youssef Megahed's (MEG-uh-hed) attorney, Charles Kuck, said he likely will face trial on terrorism charges in Miami sometime in August.

A Tampa jury in April found the 23-year-old Megahed not guilty of possessing explosives that could have been used to make a destructive device.

Megahed was seized and jailed by immigration authorities three days later.

Megahed's attorney argued that he didn't know anything about the low-grade explosive material in the trunk or the apparent terrorist leanings of the fellow Egyptian student who was arrested with him.

IMO he shouldnt have been acquitted of the charges. Even if he wasnt guilty, he hangs around with dangerous people who blow things up. DEPORT HIM!
