Lawyer: Bomb plot suspect was entrapped The lawyer for a former Prince George’s County man accused of plotting to blow up a military recruiting station says his client was induced by the federal agents to go forward with a plot that he couldn’t have carried out on his own. Antonio Martinez, 21, who says he attended Laurel High School, was arrested in a FBI sting after he allegedly drove what he believed to be a car bomb up to the building, then watched from a vantage point as he detonated the fake bomb. Martinez’ lawyer argued at a detention hearing Monday that his client was entrapped. Prosecutors said Martinez came up with the idea on his own and could be seen on video “grinning ear from ear” as he armed the phony bomb. Martinez was ordered held until trial.
