El-Bahnasawy pleaded guilty to seven terrorism charges related to a plot to carry out mass attacks in New York intended to \u201ccreate the next 9\/11.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">El-Bahnasawy was sentenced in March 2019 to 40 years in federal prison after admitting his role in a plot to attack the New York City subway and Times Square with explosives. U.S. authorities said he obtained bomb-making materials and rented a cabin near the city to build explosive devices, while one of his alleged accomplices was an undercover FBI agent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In December 2020, El-Bahnasawy also attacked two prison officers, leaving one with the loss of an eye. He was subsequently transferred permanently to the maximum-security ADX Florence prison in Colorado, where authorities have described him as an \u201cextreme danger.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Khadiga Metwally, the mother of convicted terrorist Abdulrahman El-Bahnasawy, is running for an educational trustee position on the Halton District School Board in\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":523333,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_dum_aida_pretitle":"","_dum_aida_subtitle":"","_dum_aida_city":"","_dum_aida_author":"","_dum_aida_caption":"","_dum_aida_captionauthor":"","_dum_aida_quote":"","_dum_aida_breakdowntitle":"","_dum_aida_breakdowntext":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","rank_math_title":"","rank_math_description":"","rank_math_focus_keyword":"","_members_access_role":[],"_members_access_error":""},"categories":[95],"tags":[611],"class_list":["post-523332","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-international","tag-deultimominuto"],"acf":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/phj1q1-2c8Q","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/09\/HRugukKaQAAOfOW.jpeg","dum_api":{"author_name":"Edith B\u00e1ez","author_image":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/08\/cropped-WhatsApp-Image-2026-08-11-at-11.09.56-AM-96x96.jpeg","categories_name":["International"],"featured_media_url":"https:\/\/cdn.deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/09\/HRugukKaQAAOfOW.jpeg"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/523332","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=523332"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/523332\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/523333"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=523332"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=523332"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/deultimominuto.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=523332"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
