BOSTON - A pharmacy college graduate was indicted Thursday on new charges in an alleged terror plot to kill two prominent U.S. politicians and shoot people at American shopping malls.

Tarek Mehanna, of Sudbury, Mass., is accused of conspiring with two other men — Ahmad Abousamra, who authorities say is now in Syria, and an unnamed man who is now cooperating with authorities.

Authorities said the men tried to get into terrorist training camps in the Middle East. When that failed, they allegedly talked about killing two members of the executive branch and plotted to randomly shoot mall shoppers. They also allegedly talked about killing U.S. soldiers in Iraq.
