Case of Alleged North Carolina Jihadist May Involve Classified Material

Source: Associated Press, FOXNews

RALEIGH — A case against seven North Carolina terrorism suspects accused of plotting "violent jihad" may involve classified material that will raise national security issues if given to their defense attorneys, federal prosecutors said Monday.

Prosecutors requested time to review the classified material and a hearing to discuss it, according to court documents. The government filed a motion under the Classified Information Procedures Act, which sets guidelines for the disclosure of sensitive information.

"The United States believes that disclosure of this material will raise issues of national security that the Court should address if such material is to be provided to the defense," prosecutors wrote.

...

Family members have said the accusations are unfounded.

3. They will confess

after we've had a chance to beat them up and poke them with a cattle prod. If not, there's always the broomstick. :patriot:

4. Start with the CIA-connected "Muslim charity" he worked for in Afghanistan

Start there, and the story will lead to the covert network of old spooks and resettled anti-Soviet "freedom fighters" who worked with Osama bin Laden inside the U.S. right up to 9/11. The network never cracked or gave up its mission from God, not after the 1993 WTC bombing, the '98 Embassy bombings, and the March 2000 USS Cole attack. Some things didn't change, not even after 9/11. They're still running Hekmatyar. WAMY and IIRO are still operating around the world. MAK just has new initials, and Operation Cyclone has a new code-word.

Stopping terrorist attacks, drug running, and the like was always a secondary consideration.
