A Nevada judge has ruled that a man facing terror-related charges after allegedly driving his vehicle through a gate at a solar power plant near Las Vegas and setting the car on fire is not competent to stand trial.

Mohammed Reza Mesmarian, 34, was identified as the suspect who drove his vehicle through a fence at the Mega Solar Array facility in the desert northeast of Las Vegas on Jan. 4 and set the vehicle on fire, in turn disabling the facility, which is owned by Chicago-based Invenergy and serves several Las Vegas Strip properties operated by MGM Resorts International.
