A former University of Pittsburgh student who has a “fascination with terrorism” will remain incarcerated pending trial on charges that he threatened an FBI agent.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Richard Lanzillo ruled that Khaled Miah, 27, poses a potential threat to the community and a risk of flight.
“Anyone who seems to come within the defendant’s orbit … becomes subject to his surveillance and scrutiny,” Lanzillo said. “This is all with a backdrop of fascination with terrorism and terrorists that cannot be explained by academic interest.”
