Description
On April 23, 2004, Zameer Nooralla Mohamed telephoned the Department of Homeland Security from a hotel room in Calgary, Canada, and made a phony bomb threat, claiming that four of his acquaintances were terrorists involved in a plot to bomb several shopping malls near a federal building in Los Angeles, California. After expending considerable resources to protect against the threat and identify its perpetrator, law enforcement officials located and arrested Mohamed. A district court sentenced him to a prison term of five years for violating 18 U.S.C. Γ§ 844(e), which prohibits the use of a telephone to "make[ ] any threat" or "maliciously convey[ ] false information knowing the same to be false" regarding an attempt to "destroy any building, vehicle, or other real or personal property by means of fire or an explosive." Mohamed now appeals his sentence. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. Γ§ 1291 and 18 U.S.C. Γ§ 3742(a), and we affirm.
