PORTLAND, Ore. — Multiple Portland news affiliates report Mohamed Mohamud has been found guilty of attempting to bomb a Christmas tree lighting ceremony in 2010 in Portland.
The 21-year-old’s defense argued during trial that Mohamud is conflicted and immature, and was influenced by undercover FBI agents who posed as Al-Qaeda operatives.
Prosecutors noted Mohammed never hesitated, even when given the chance to disband the plot. They argued the decision had been made long before the government got involved.
