The FBI promised "martyrdom payments" of up to $1,000 a month to a terrorism suspect. Alexandria resident Amine El-Khalifi eventually said he would kill himself in a plot to bomb the Capitol. He pled guilty in June and will be sentenced Friday. It's just one of several FBI sting operations targeting so-called "homegrown terrorists." But the agency is not saying whether it promised martyrdom payments in any of the other cases. The defense lawyers say they do not believe the FBI actions constitute entrapment.(
