Prosecutors said Thursday that 38-year-old Yung Tang placed the bomb in a bag next to Israel Halberstam's minivan while it was parked outside his Brooklyn home in March 2002. The bag exploded when Halberstam tried to move it.

They say Tang wanted his tenant dead because Halberstam owed him about $100,000 in rent on a showroom for his electronics business.

Prosecutors say they don't know whether Tang has an attorney. No telephone number could be found for his Greenwood Lake home.

If convicted, he faces up to 50 years in prison.
