The evidence
Items confiscated from the car carrying Youssef Megahed and Ahmed Mohamed, who were arrested in Goose Creek on Aug. 4 and charged with violating explosives laws:
Three pieces of PVC piping that were filled with a mixture of potassium nitrate, corn syrup and cat box litter.
An electric drill, a box of .22-caliber cartridges, a five-gallon container partially filled with gasoline and 23 feet of safety fuse.

...A federal prosecutor said Friday that a laptop computer found in a car stopped in Goose Creek while carrying explosives contained video of the driver demonstrating how to turn a radio-controlled car into a remote-control detonator.
Ahmed Mohamed has admitted that he is the person heard explaining on the video that such a detonator could "save one who wants to be a martyr for another battle," federal prosecutor Jay Hoffer said in a Florida courtroom, according to a report on tampabay.com by The St. Petersburg Times.
Hoffer also told a judge that the computer had been used to visit Web sites about "rifles, weaponry, about the conflict in the Middle East, jihadists."

...Megahed denied knowing any of the materials were in the vehicle, but in a secretly recorded conversation between Megahed and Mohamed while they were in the back of a patrol car during their arrest, Hoffer said Megahed "asked Mr. Mohamed pointedly, 'What did you tell them about the gas canister?'
