NC man charged in beheading plot to face trial (AP)

WILMINGTON, N.C. ? A federal magistrate judge says a North Carolina man must stand trial in a plot to hire a hit man to behead three witnesses in his brother's terrorism case.

The ruling came Friday during a hearing in Wilmington. Federal Magistrate Judge Robert Jones also ordered Shkumbin Sherifi (shuh-REE'-fee shuh-KUM'-bihn) remanded without bond.

Sherifi was arrested after FBI agents tracked him to a meeting with a government informant posing as a representative of a hit man. He is accused of paying the informant $4,250 toward the first killing.

It was revealed at the hearing that the FBI faked a witness' death by providing Sherifi with photos of the person in a shallow grave as well as a faked picture of what appeared to be the witness' severed head.
