A Somali-American man has been found guilty of trying to detonate a bomb supplied by undercover agents at a crowded Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Portland. Attorneys for Mohamed Osman Mohamud had accused the FBI of entrapment. Undercover FBI agents orchestrated much of the bomb plot, supplying Mohamud with money, providing materials to construct the fake bomb, and blocking Mohamud from leaving the Portland area to take a job in Alaska. Mohamud could face life in prison.
