Pakistani Teen Gets Prison in Bomb Scheme
Imran Mandhai, 19, a Pakistani living in Miami who plotted bomb attacks on electrical power substations and a National Guard armory, was sentenced to 140 months in prison, officials said.
Mandhai pleaded guilty in August to a charge of conspiracy to damage and destroy property through fire and explosives, the U.S. attorney’s office said.
Co-defendant Shueyb Mosa Jokhan, 24, was sentenced to four years and 10 months in prison two weeks ago after also pleading guilty to a charge of conspiracy to destroy property.
Their plotting took place between May 2000 and May 2001 in Miami-Dade and Broward counties, prosecutors said.
