Update:
Steve Cohen went on to intercede with the State Department on behalf of a fellow named Carlos Bledsoe, otherwise known as Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, who was being held in a Yemeni prison for possession of a fraudulent Somali passport. Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad is an African-American convert to Islam who attended the same Yemeni Damaj Institute as “Johnny Taliban” aka John Walker-Lindh and other radicalized converts, and who looks to be linked to the Columbus Ohio cell’s Nuradin Abdi, Iyman Faris, and Christopher Paul, all of whom are currently serving time. Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad is known for his June 2009 act of murdering a US military recruiter in Little Rock, Arkansas and wounding another.
