              Bangladeshi Gets 30-Year Prison Term in US Bomb Plot

   A Bangladeshi student intent on terrorism has been sentenced to 30
   years in a U.S. prison after admitting he tried to blow up the Federal
   Reserve Bank in New York.
   Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis faced a life term in the bomb plot
   last year, acknowledging he intended to use a cell phone to detonate a
   454-kilogram explosive at the bank. It is located near the site of the
   World Trade Center towers that al-Qaida terrorists destroyed in 2001 by
   flying jetliners into them.
   The 22-year-old Bangladeshi told a judge Friday that he is "ashamed" by
   his actions and "tried to do a terrible thing."
   Prosecutors said that Nafis sought assistance over the Internet to
   carry out his plot, but one of his contacts turned out to be a
   government informant. Officials supplied Nafis with fake explosives and
   no one was endangered as he attempted to carry out the attack.
