“Terror charges against former Worcester teacher allowed to stand
Judge rejects free speech bid”
By Denise Lavoie THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BOSTON —
SNIPPET: “As a volunteer before his arrest in October 2009, Mr. Mehanna was teaching science, math and religion at the Muslim academy on East Mountain Street in Worcester.
Authorities have said Mr. Mehanna and two other men sought training at terrorist camps in the Middle East. Prosecutors said the men told friends they were rejected because of their nationality, ethnicity or inexperience, or that they were unable to make contact with people they hoped would get them into such camps.”

August 21, 2011|By Travis Andersen, Globe Staff
SNIPPET: “A federal judge has denied a motion from a Sudbury man to suppress classified evidence obtained through a special surveillance program before his trial on terrorism-related charges, which is scheduled to begin in October.”
SNIPPET: “Officials do not have to show that the commission of a crime is imminent to obtain a FISA warrant for electronic surveillance.
Mehanna is facing charges that he conspired to provide material support to Al Qaeda and tried to join a terrorist training camp in Yemen, among other violations.”
