Remember Daniel Maldonado, the All-American jihadi...

nabbed as he was fleeing Somalia along with all of his Islamic Courts Union buddies?

FBI asked to show more evidence on US terror suspect.

A U.S. federal court ordered the FBI on Tuesday to show more evidence against a U.S. citizen accused of training with al Qaeda militants in Somalia and delayed ruling on whether he can be held without bail, Reuters reports.

The government also alleges Daniel Joseph Maldonado, also known as Daniel Aljughaifi, "conspired to use a weapon of mass destruction" but has yet to provide evidence that he built or possessed a bomb...

At the preliminary hearing, his lawyer Brent Newton said the government had not made its case to hold and prosecute Maldonado and had not given enough information to test the evidence.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Gary Cobe countered that Newton had all the information the law required this early in a case. But U.S. Magistrate Calvin Botley extended the hearing.

"I want to be fair to both sides," Botley said, adding he intended to rule on whether there was probable cause to continue holding Maldonado no later than Wednesday.

There's more background here at KHOU.com. Here's the juicy part.
The feds say Maldonado received extensive training in explosives from an individual called “The Bomb Maker” who assembled, produced and tested improvised explosive devices. “The Bomb Maker” frequently talked about knowing and speaking with Osama bin Laden.

Maldonado also allegedly received training on TNT and nitrates from this man.

The feds said Maldonado was willing to fight on behalf of al-Qaida, and that he even offered to be a suicide bomber if he was wounded in battle and was no longer able to fight on the front lines...

According to the complaint, Maldonado was provided an AK-47, equipped with military combat uniforms and boots in Mogadishu, and participated in training camps in Kismaayo and Jilib. The camps included physical fitness, firearms and explosives training — all in preparation to go to the front to fight for the ICU.

Al-Qaida members were allegedly present at the training camp.

Maldonado was captured by the Kenyan military on Jan. 21 as he fled to avoid Ethiopian and Somalian forces, according to federal agents.

You know, I bet this character thought he was some big, tough, badass mo-huncher. Isn't it a shame he got caught running like a yellow bellied dog with his tail tucked between his legs. Not only that, he had his three kids in tow. His poor wife? She died of malaria while following his jihad with him. What a man!

I sure hope the feds have what it takes to put this guy out of commission until he goes through Criminal Menopause.
