The explosive would have contained nails and metal shrapnel dipped in rat poison, a chemical which would help ensure the victims bleed out due to its use as a blood thinner.

A 20-year-old Florida man is in custody after allegedly plotting to help carry out a terror attack during a Sept. 11 memorial in Kansas City, Mo., this weekend.
Joshua Goldberg, of Orange Park, was arrested Thursday after federal authorities say he instructed an undercover officer on how to create and detonate a pressure-cooker bomb during the city's Memorial Stair Climb on Sunday.
The explosive would have contained nails and metal shrapnel dipped in rat poison, a chemical which would help ensure the victims bleed out due to its use as a blood thinner, federal authorities said.
The Jacksonville-area resident was tracked down through his internet communications. It was there authorities say he claimed to have motivated two gunmen into storming a Muhammad cartoon convention in Garland, Texas in June.
That attack left two people dead.
In online conversations with the undercover informant, Goldberg is accused of expressing hope that "there will be some jihad on the anniversary of 9/11."
When the informant expressed a desire to assist in an attack, Goldberg -- who was living at home with his parents at the time -- is accused of providing detailed and credible information on how to go about constructing a bomb.
"Have you decided what kind of attack you want to carry out on 9/11, akhi? I was thinking a bombing. ... We could make pipe bombs and detonate them at a large public event... It needs to be big," he allegedly told the informant on Aug. 20.
Goldberg was arrested on charges of distributing information related to explosives and weapons of mass destruction. He was scheduled to go before a judge on Thursday.
He faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
