An indictment read out in a US district court in the state of Virginia said Ahmed Omar Abu Ali, 23, had discussed two scenarios with a co-conspirator. It was proposed that Mr Abu Ali would shoot Mr Bush on the street or detonate a car bomb, the indictment said. The alleged conspirator told the court he had been tortured during his detention which began in June 2003.
