A Florida attorney pleaded guilty on Friday to using a rifle to try to detonate explosives he placed outside the Chinese embassy last year in Washington DC.
Christopher Rodriguez also bombed a sculpture of the communist leaders Vladimir Lenin and Mao Zedong in a courtyard outside the Texas Public Radio building in San Antonio, Texas, in 2022, according to a court filing accompanying his guilty plea.
Rodriguez, 45, of Panama City, Florida, is scheduled to be sentenced in Washington by chief judge James Boasberg on 28 October.
Under the terms of his plea deal, Rodriguez and prosecutors agreed that an appropriate sentence for him would be seven to 10 years in prison.
