Show Notes
Federal prosecutors in Tampa seek to detain Ann Mary Zheng, a 27-year-old woman, without bond after she was charged for aiding her brothers bomb plot at MacDill Air Force Base. Her brother, Alen Zheng, allegedly planted an explosive device near the bases visitor center in March. Ann Mary faces charges of witness tampering and being an accessory after the fact, while Alen is charged with attempting to damage government property and making an illegal destructive device. The case unfolded after a 911 call about a bomb, leading to the discovery of the device six days later. Prosecutors argue Ann Mary is a flight risk and a threat to the investigation, citing her research on escape plans. The siblings family ties and dual citizenship are also factors in the case. A judge will decide on Ann Marys bond by Friday, as investigators continue to search for Alen and any other accomplices.
