Man arrested in Houston for offer to sell bomb to terrorist group
A Pennsylvania man has been arrested in Houston for attempting to sell a bomb to an al-Qaeda related group:
Ronald Allen Grecula, of Bangor, Pa., was arrested Friday in Houston during a meeting with undercover FBI agents. During that meeting, Grecula indicated willingness to build and sell an explosive device that was to be used against Americans, according to court documents.

Grecula negotiated with a confidential source and later undercover officers between April and last Friday to build and sell a bomb to terrorist groups targeting the United States, according to court documents.
The FBI recorded conversations with Grecula, in which he talked about technical knowledge about building an explosive device, his willingness to put on a demonstration, and the need for all involved to "be careful" as they planned the venture, Shelby said.
Was he going to put on his demonstration in Houston? Oh dear.
