That's the line his defense attorney is going to try to sell. It looks like his brother is well known to the Miami JTTF (Joint Terrorism Task Force). And those jihadi beheading videos on his phone merely show that he is a man of faith, right? He just forgot to mention his recent trip to Iraq when asked.
How can he be a mechanic for American for 30 years in the U.S. and not speak much English? Even in the Middle East the maintenance manuals are in English as far as I know.
Lone wolf, no known ties etc...
He may just be a fool but I can see why the FBI and the U.S. Attorney would want him to be kept in custody.
