The FBI has made another terror arrest, uncovering an alleged plot to carry out attacks in American shopping malls.
Federal authorities arrested 27 year old Tarek Mehanna from Massachusetts.
He's a US citizen who officials say sought, but never received, training in terrorist camps.
In announcing his arrest investigators said he conspired to carry out a holy war attack against us military personnel serving in Iraq.
The newest charges also accused Mehanna of plotting to attack at least two executives who once worked at the White House.
Mehanna was arrested last year for allegedly lying about a man who trained with Al Qaeda members.
