A judge in Tampa ruled today that two Egyptian college students facing federal explosives charges after they were arrested in South Carolina will be tried together.
Defendant Youssef Samir Megahed asked U.S. District Judge Steven Merryday to sever the cases. Merryday didn't comment on his order.
Megahed and fellow USF student Ahmed Abdellatif Sherif Mohamed were arrested in August in Goose Creek. Authorities say they found explosive materials in the car's trunk.
The students claimed they were on their way to a North Carolina beach and that they were looking for cheap gas.
Both men have pleaded not guilty. They remain in jail until their trial, expected sometime next year.
