tracked Abdo to the Best Value Inn and Suites. Coincidentally, Guns Galore was the store in which Nidal Malik Hasan bought the FN Five-seven pistol used in the 2009 Fort Hood shooting, as well as the store where the killer in the 2014 Fort Hood shootings allegedly bought his pistol. At Abdo's hotel room, Killeen police found a handgun and the ingredients for an explosive device, including gunpowder, shrapnel, and pressure cookers. Also in the room was an article entitled, "Make a bomb in the kitchen of your Mom," from Inspire magazine, the English-language publication of Al Qaeda. According to Daniel Pipes of The Washington Times, the "materials in Pfc. Abdo's possession corresponded precisely to the "ingredients" listed in the Inspire magazine article on bomb-making." Abdo had bought a uniform with Fort Hood patches from a military surplus store to fit in with local soldiers. Court hearing In a court hearing on July 29, 2011, Abdo was charged with possession of an unregistered destructive device. He did not enter a plea at that time. He was ordered held without bond. While leaving the courtroom, Abdo shouted: "Nidal Hasan — Ft. Hood 2009" in reference to the Army major Hasan charged with the Fort Hood shooting. Abdo also invoked the name of Abeer Qassim al-Janabi, a 14-year-old girl raped and murdered by United States Army soldiers in Iraq. (Five current or former soldiers were charged and convicted in the case.) According to court papers, Abdo "admitted that he planned to assemble two bombs in the hotel room using gun powder and shrapnel packed into pressure cookers" to explode at a restaurant popular with soldiers. After hearing testimony from the FBI in February 2012, the federal judge stated that Abdo could be indicted on additional charges. He represented himself in court and again denied that he had possessed child pornography. On May 24, 2012, Abdo was found guilty in federal court of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction, attempted murder of federal employees, possession of a weapon in furtherance of a federal crime of violence, and possession of a firearm in furtherance of a federal crime of violence. On August 10, 2012, he was sentenced to two life terms plus 60 years in prison. Abdo is currently being held at ADX Florence. Abdo is the third American Muslim soldier since the United States (US) started warfare in Afghanistan and Iraq
