  On Nov. 15, Adam Hart, a student from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, pled not guilty Wednesday, Nov. 15 to a charge of maliciously conveying false information after sending a hoax letter last spring to the National Security Agency (NSA) accusing Abdallah.
  
  Hart, a student at the University of Massachusetts at Dartmouth at the time, wrote in his letter to the NSA, "I feel it is my duty as an American to inform you that Osamah Abdallah of Loyola Chicago was talking to me online about strapping a bomb to his chest and walking into the Sears Tower.I hope you take action against him."
  
  Calls and e-mails requesting comment from the University of Massachusetts have not been returned.
  
  In a letter of apology to the NSA, Hart admitted he had used the Web site Facebook.com April 17, searching for "a variety novelty names" including variations of the name Osamah.
  
  He found Abdallah's account and sent him an e-mail containing derogatory slurs.Abdallah responded and an exchange ensued, culminating in Hart's April 22 letter to the NSA, as well as an e-mail sent to Abdallah declaring, "I just ratted you out to the NSA, you [expletive] terrorist."
  
  Hart explained that he was "under the influence" and the NSA letter was an attempt to be funny in front of his friends.
  
  "I wasn't thinking how serious it was to send the NSA an e-mail," Hart's statement read."I was honestly just surprised that I had even found an e-mail address to send it to."
  
  Hart could not be reached for comment.
  ...
  Realizing the threat lacked credibility, the FBI subsequently contacted Hart, who denied any involvement in the incident.
  
  Hart later admitted in a signed statement to the FBI his involvement, stating, "I'm truely [sic] sorry and appoligize [sic] for whatever resources I have wasted."
  
  Following his arraignment, Hart was released on a $10,000 bond.If convicted, he could face up to 10 years in jail and a $250,000 fine.
