When Taheb and the informant met in October, Taheb allegedly said he planned to travel to the Middle East, and was trying to sell the car to pay for his trip, despite not having a passport.
He discussed with the undercover agent exchanging their cars for weapons and explosives, officials said. Taheb said he wanted to use "semi-automatic weapons, improvised explosive devices, an [shoulder-fired anti-armor weapon] and hand grenades" in his attack, according to the FBI.
