A Sudanese man is being tried in the United Arab Emirates for allegedly plotting a bomb attack in Abu Dhabi aimed at killing foreigners, a local newspaper reported Monday. The National daily said that the unnamed 29-year-old defendant faces charges related to plotting to "commit acts of terror in the capital. He scouted and inspected locations to execute his plan of planting explosives to kill foreigners in the country," the newspaper said on its website quoting court documents. It also quoted the prosecution as saying the defendant had posted on Facebook and Twitter material aimed at promoting and recruiting members for the Daesh group. The man who appeared before an Abu Dhabi court is being tried under the UAE's anti-terror law.
