    ORLANDO, Florida (Reuters) - A 25-year-old Muslim man born in Kosovo was charged on Monday with trying to obtain explosives and firearms to attack Florida businesses and a police station, authorities said.

    Sami Osmakac, a naturalized U.S. citizen who was born in Kosovo - a disputed Balkan state once a part of the former Yugoslavia that declared its independence from Serbia in 2008 - was charged with one count of attempted use of a weapon of mass destruction.

    He was arrested Saturday night after taking possession from an undercover FBI agent of what he believed to be explosives and firearms, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney. The devices were rendered inoperable by the agents.

    Osmakac also planned to strap on an explosive belt and "get in somewhere where there's a lot of people," according to the release. Osmakac wanted to take hostages and demand the release of unspecified prisoners.

    He told the undercover agent that police could "take me in five million pieces," according to the release. "We all have to die, so why not die the Islamic way?" Osmakac also told the agent, according to the release.
