A Jordanian man charged with trying to blow up a Dallas skyscraper with what he thought was a car bomb will go on trial next summer.
A federal judge has moved Hosam Smadi's trial to June 7.
The 19-year-old Smadi had been scheduled for trial starting Dec. 7. But the judge found the case was complex and agreed more time was needed to interview witnesses and review evidence.
