Earlier on October 17, 2012, FBI held Nafis, 21, for plotting to blow up a Federal Reserve Bank in New York by detonating a 1,000-pound bomb.
Later on November 16, Grand jury indicted him on charges of using a weapon of mass destruction.
After hearing, a US court sent him to jail rejecting the bail prayer.
Diplomats from Bangladesh Embassy to Washington are likely to present in the Thursday’s hearing, Monirul added.
On February 8, Nafis has pleaded guilty to terrorism charges.
The crimes that Nafis reportedly committed refer to life-term imprisonment generally but the degree of punishment comes down following the admission of his guilt.
