Jordanian faces June trial in alleged Dallas plot

DALLAS -- A Jordanian man charged with trying to blow up a Dallas skyscraper with what he thought was a car bomb will go on trial next summer.

A federal judge has moved Hosam Smadi's trial to June 7.

Authorities allege Smadi parked a truck in a garage beneath a the downtown office tower in September. Once he was at a safe distance, Smadi dialed a cell phone he thought would detonate a bomb in the truck, but the device was actually a decoy provided by FBI operatives posing as al-Qaida members.

Smadi has pleaded not guilty.
