FBI agents seized a handgun and ammunition from the home of a Jordanian teenager accused of trying to bomb a downtown Dallas skyscraper.
A search warrant and other documents in the case of Hosam Maher Smadi, 19, show the items were seized from his residence in rural Milford, about 50 miles southwest of Dallas.
The documents show agents found a handgun, two loaded magazines and a box of 9mm ammunition. They also took a laptop, a digital camera and documents from the home.
Smadi was arrested Sept. 24 and faces a charge of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction.
Authorities say Smadi parked a truck he thought contained a bomb in the garage beneath the 60-story Fountain Place office building in Dallas. Later, authorities say, he dialed a cell phone that he thought would ignite a blast.
