Stress Takes Toll On Megahed's Family

As his son appeared in federal court on explosives charges, Samir Megahed struggled with the overwhelming strain of the prosecution and family problems.

'We're under big stress,' the 60-year-old said in a telephone interview.

Megahed's son, Youssef, pleaded not guilty Wednesday to a charge of illegally transporting explosives. He and another University of South Florida student, Ahmed Mohamed, were arrested Aug. 4 in South Carolina after deputies said they found explosives in their trunk after a traffic stop.
