San Francisco - An Egyptian engineering student at the University of South Florida was sentenced this week to 15 years in prison, after pleading guilty to uploading a video to YouTube (NASD: GOOG) that demonstrates how to make a bomb detonator out of a remote-control toy car, Wired.com reported.

Twenty-seven year-old Ahmed Abdellatif Sherif Mohamed admitted to uploading the 12-minute video in federal court back in June.

He was arrested after authorities found bomb-making materials in his car when he was pulled over in South Carolina last year.
