He will be back for a pretrial hearing on August 31 and is expected to have more charges filed against him relating to the other 17 attacks he is suspected in.

The suspect is a citizen of a mixed Arab-Israeli town in Israel and was arrested at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport on August 11 while trying to board a flight to Tel Aviv. He was extradited from Atlanta to Michigan early Thursday according to reports.
