Amine El Khalifi ((アラビア語:أمين محمد الخليفي); born c. 1983) is a Moroccan man who was arrested by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for allegedly plotting to carry out a suicide bombing on the United States Capitol. He has been charged with "attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction against federal property" and if convicted, faces life in prison.〔 El Khalifi thought he was working with al-Qaeda operatives, but was actually in contact with undercover FBI agents. He is believed to have no actual ties to al-Qaeda. All arms and support was provided by the FBI, and authorities say the public was never in danger.〔〔 On June 22, 2012, El Khalifi pleaded guilty in federal court in the Eastern District of Virginia of trying to carry out a suicide bomb attack on the U.S. Capitol Building in February 2012 as part of what he intended to be a terrorist operation and was sentenced to 30 years in prison the following September.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/2012/June/12-nsd-794.html )〕〔 ==Early life== El Khalifi came to the United States on a visitor's visa at the age of 16. He settled in Arlington County, Virginia, as an illegal immigrant when his visa expired in 1999.〔〔 He worked at odd jobs and had occasional minor brushes with the law, including a marijuana charge and traffic violations. According to an acquaintance, El Khalifi regularly attended a mosque in Falls Church.〔 El Khalifi attracted attention in 2010, when his suburban Virginia landlord called police after the man allegedly threatened to beat him up. At the time, El Khalifi was being evicted from his apartment for failure to pay rent.〔 The landlord was suspicious of packages El Khalifi had been receiving, and told police he thought El Khalifi was making bombs, but police told him to leave the man alone.〔 At least one other man was living with El Khalifi at the time, and he claimed to be running a luggage business.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Amine El Khalifi」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
