Bomb-case witness alleged plot to kill Obama

Court filing says friend of Md. suspect disclosed plan for convoy attack

A close friend of Collin McKenzie-Gude's told investigators that the former Bethesda honor student, who kept a small arsenal in his bedroom, was plotting to assassinate Barack Obama during the 2008 campaign, federal prosecutors stated in a court filing Monday.

According to the filing, which offers the most detail yet about why authorities have taken the 16-month-old case so seriously, McKenzie-Gude planned to use bombs planted in the road to halt Obama's convoy, then kill him with the long-range AR-15 rifle that police found in his bedroom. Prosecutors also said McKenzie-Gude had drawn up plans to kill his friend's mother and another student if a possible gun deal went bad, according to the filing.

McKenzie-Gude, now 20, pleaded guilty Sept. 23 to possessing bomb-making chemicals, which were found in his room at his home just outside the Capital Beltway. He has not been charged with plotting to shoot or kill anyone, and nothing in the filing suggests that he will be. Prosecutors filed the papers in advance of a Jan. 7 sentencing hearing, when they are expected to argue that he should be sentenced to eight years in prison for possessing the chemicals.

McKenzie-Gude's attorney, Steven Kupferberg, has said authorities exaggerated the threat McKenzie-Gude posed and ruined his name in the process. Kupferberg said Monday that prosecutors put too much credence in Gude's former close friend, Patrick Yevsukov, now 18, who also has pleaded guilty in the case and has cooperated with investigators.

2. or this guy..

eports that IRA fugitive from justice Pol Brennan was arrested at the Sarita checkpoint. Border Patrol agents caught him with an expired work permit. He was denied bail and held at a detention facility.
King comes to Brennan's defense "My experience dealing with (Irish) republicans is that they don't jump bail in this country. They honor their commitments. Based on my experience, and also the republican movement's commitment to the peace process, I think he should get bail."
