He is charged with plotting to blow up the Federal Reserve Bank, in New York City.
Nafis reportedly came to the US, from Bangladesh with the sole purpose of conducting terrorist organizations.
The FBI took notice of him when they received word that he was trying to recruit people to become part of terrorist cells.
He had a list of other targets that he wished to hit, including the New York Stock Exchange.
An undercover FBI agent pretended to be a member of Al Qaeda, and supplied Nafis with what he thought was one thousand pounds of explosives.
The agent allowed Nafis to build the bomb, plant it, and attempt several detonations before revealing himself and arresting the attempted terrorist.
