The bomb placed outside a US Air Force Base visitors centre in Florida last month was built inside two 2-litre cherry Pepsi bottles, according to federal prosecutors.
Alen Zheng, 20, of Land O’Lakes, is accused of planting the bomb and lighting the fuse at the base on March 10. He drove the explosive to MacDill Air Force Base in the boot of his Mercedes SUV, according to a document filed by prosecutors Friday.
The bomb did not detonate.

US Attorney Gregory Kehoe has said it had the “potential to be very deadly”.
The filing Friday came as part of an attempt to keep Zheng’s sister, Ann Mary, from being released as she faces charges of evidence tampering and being an accessory after the fact in her brother’s case.
