Soldier Accused In Bomb Plot Attacks Officers In Courthouse Elevator
WACO (April 20, 2012)
Army Pfc. Jason Abdo, who’s accused of plotting to set off a bomb in a restaurant frequented by Fort Hood soldiers, attacked a U.S. marshal and a deputy sheriff who were escorting him back to jail Friday evening after a pretrial hearing in U.S. District Court in Waco.
Abdo and the two officers were in an elevator in the Waco Federal Building when he bit completely through his lip and then spat what one source said was a significant amount of blood on the two officers.
The incident happened after U.S. District Judge Walter Smith ruled that Abdo’s confession is admissible.
Smith made the ruling after hearing several hours of testimony Friday afternoon on a defense motion seeking to suppress evidence obtained at the time of Abdo’s arrest in July 2011 at a motel in Killeen.
