(KCEN) -- A man charged with attempting to bomb a suburban north Texas natural gas pipeline has been found competent to stand trial.
Anson Chi was found competent during a pretrial hearing in Plano yesterday.
A psychiatrist with the Federal Bureau of prisons met with Chi and determined that he is not suffering from any mental defect and can help his defense team.
After court, reporters questioned his attorney.
The charges stem from an incident last June in which a homemade bomb exploded on a natural gas regulator in Plano.
The device went off prematurely and caused little damage to the regulator, but critically injured Chi.
He is scheduled to return to court on May 1.
