Arrest and release...now he'll go away and become a more proficient terrorists and "he'll be back." Bruce Egyptian immigrant pleads guilty to fraud MEMPHIS, Tenn. An Egyptian immigrant who raised government fears about possible terrorist plans but was not charged with terrorism pleaded guilty Monday to fraud.
Mahmoud Maawad, 29, was ordered held without bond until sentencing July 14 and will be subject to deportation after any prison term. Authorities say he has been in the United States illegally since 1999, when his visitor's visa expired. The guilty plea was accepted by Judge Bernice Donald of U.S. District Court. Maawad is represented by the federal public defender's office, which has refused to comment on his case. Maawad has been in federal custody since he was arrested in September on charges of using a depleted bank account to make purchases over the Internet. He also was charged with using a fake Social Security number to enroll at the University of Memphis, where he was a student when arrested. He drew the attention of federal authorities when a search of his apartment turned up DVDs on pilot training and charts on the layout of the Memphis airport. One of the DVDs was titled "How an Airline Captain Should Look and Act." Authorities refuse to talk about their investigation of Maawad but court records showed that investigators believed he may have been planning a terrorist act. No evidence of direct links to terrorism was presented in court. Maawad pleaded guilty to fraudulently obtaining merchandise through Internet orders to Sporty's U.S.A., an Ohio based company that sells aviation related training materials and equipment. 060606 005637 Copyright 2006 Associated Press.
