Would-be Pentagon bomber to plead guilty

A man that prosecutors said plotted to attack the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol with a remote-controlled airplane filled with explosives agreed to plead guilty in federal court in Boston on Tuesday, according to the FBI.

Authorities say Rezwan Ferdaus, 26, gave undercover FBI agents detonation components and in turn received C-4 explosives, grenades and assault weapons from them. He was arrested in September.

As part of a plea deal, prosecutors will recommend that Ferdaus spend 17 years in prison followed by 10 years of supervised release.
