NEW YORK (AP) - Two men charged last week in a terrorism case traveled to Washington to shoot "casing videos" of the Capitol building and other potential targets, a prosecutor said.
Prosecutors leveled the new allegations against Ehsanul Islam Sadequee and Syed Haris Ahmed at a bail hearing Friday. They also challenged a Brooklyn magistrate's earlier decision to release Sadequee to house arrest at his mother's residence in Roswell, Ga., on $250,000 bail.
U.S. District Judge Sandra Townes reversed that ruling and ordered Sadequee, 19, held without bail after citing a pretrial report detailing the defendant's ties to Bangladesh, where he lived for the past several months and has a new bride.
