WASHINGTON (AP) — A Virginia man accused in an alleged bomb plot against the U.S. Capitol is scheduled to plead guilty.

Federal prosecutors say Amine El Khalifi is due in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Va., for a plea hearing Friday afternoon.

El Khalifi was charged in February following a year-long undercover FBI investigation. He was arrested in a parking lot, wearing what he thought was an explosive-laden suicide vest.

According to court documents, El Khalifi is a native of Morocco who had been living illegally in the U.S. for more than a decade.
