2As described in detail belowr FERDAUS selected two models for his attack plans, the F-4 Phantom and F-86 Sabre. These remote controlled airplanes are a smaller scale version of U.S. military fighter jetsr ranging from 60 to 80 inches in length and having a wingspan range of 44 inches to 63 inches. For instance, the F-4 phantom FERDAUS chose to use in his attack on the Capitol Building was 1/10th the size of the actual F-4 Phantom II U.S. fighter jet. A photograph of such a remote controlled aircraft is attached as Exhibit 1. A photograph of a F-86 Sabre remote controlled aircraft is attached as Exhibit 2. 3During meetings with the FBI UCEs, FERDAUS referred to these devices as rrdetonatorsr" "detonation devices," and "phones." To build these devices, FERDAUS purchased mobile phones, unscrewed the back cover of each phone, and then soldered wires to the phone. On several occasions, FERDAUS explained to the UCEs how these devices worked: when the mobile phone's number is dialed, the phone sends an electrical current through these wires, which would act as the "electrical switch" for the detonation device. Based upon my discussions with members of the FBI Explosives Unit, IEDs commonly consist of (a) a switch/trigger; (b) an initiator; (c) a power sourcei and (d) explosives.

To build this detonation device, as explained above, FERDAUS purchased a cellular phone, unscrewed the back cover of the phone, and then soldered wires to the phone. FERDAUS explained to UCE1 that when the cellular phone's number is dialed, the phone would send an electrical current through these wires, which would act as the "electrical switch" triggering the detonation for an lED.
