Karo syrup and kitty litter ...

Youssef Samir Megahed, indicted on explosives charges, may be released from custody under certain conditions.

Contents of the auto trunk included "three pieces of piping cut into small sections, each filled with a "potassium nitrate explosive mixture."

*Also found in the car were 20 feet of fuse, a box of .22-caliber bullets, a drill that could have been used to "perhaps insert a fuse" into the explosive devices, and a partially filled 5-gallon gasoline container, Hoffer said.

Authorities also found a .22-caliber rifle with a scope in a storage shed used by Megahed, Hoffer said.*

Jihadi material was found on the confiscated laptop. And a *video, which Mohamed has acknowledged he made, shows "how to turn a radio controlled car into a detonator that could be used for an explosive," Hoffer said.*

::More:: about that explosive mixture:

*deputies found four small sections of PVC pipe, at least three of which were stuffed with a 'potassium nitrate explosive mixture' of potassium nitrate, Karo syrup and kitty litter, Hoffer said. He said the kitty litter served as a binder to keep the substance from coming out of the pipes, which were not capped.*
