HOUSTON (Reuters) - A U.S. federal court ordered the FBI on Tuesday
to show more evidence against a U.S. citizen accused of training
with al Qaeda militants in Somalia and delayed ruling on whether he
can be held without bail.

The government also alleges Daniel Joseph Maldonado, also known as
Daniel Aljughaifi, "conspired to use a weapon of mass destruction"
but has yet to provide evidence that he built or possessed a bomb.

Arrested in Kenya on January 21 and returned to Houston this month,
Maldonado faces life in prison on the explosives charge and 10 years
if convicted of training with al Qaeda, which is blamed for the
September 11 attacks on the United States in 2001.

At the preliminary hearing, his lawyer Brent Newton said the
government had not made its case to hold and prosecute Maldonado
and had not given enough information to test the evidence.
