Tom Hartzell, an attorney for Mohamed, didn’t return a call seeking comment on his client’s behalf.Brad Roach, attorney for Hussein, said his client is asserting his innocence and looking forward to the legal process going forward.''Authorities say Mohamed told an undercover FBI employee during social-media exchanges that he was "thirsty'' for the blood of disbelievers and that "the best wake up call is (for the) Islamic State to get victory or another 911.'' During an April meeting with the undercover FBI employee, Mohamed said "jihad is the only thing on his mind and that he wants to make the kuffar (disbelievers) in Egypt cry,'' according to the criminal complaint. During a meeting a month ago between Mohamed, Hussein and the undercover FBI employee, Hussein said he wanted to blow up the White House and that when he arrived in the Sinai peninsula of Egypt,he needs blood on his hands,” according to the complaint.
