An uncle of the man who killed four Marines and a sailor in attacks on Tennessee military sites has been in custody in Jordan since a day after the attack, a lawyer said Tuesday.
Abed al-Kader Ahmad al-Khateeb told The Associated Press that he was barred from seeing his client and that family members were also prevented from visiting the detainee. Al-Khateeb identified his client as Asaad Ibrahim Asaad Haj Ali, a maternal uncle of the Chattanooga attacker, Muhammad Youssef Abdulazeez.
A Jordanian government official said Tuesday that some of Abdulazeez's relatives in Jordan were being questioned as part of an investigation into his stay in the kingdom. He would not elaborate on the probe.
The official said he was sure the uncle and "other relevant people" are being questioned, but that he did not know whether he was in detention. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case with the media.
Abdulazeez spent several months in Jordan last year under a mutual agreement with his parents to help him get away from drugs, alcohol and a group of friends his relatives considered a bad influence, according to a person close to his family. That person also spoke on condition of anonymity out of concern it would have business repercussions.
An FBI spokesman has declined to comment on that information.

But we can’t possibly know his motive.
Must be Tea Party. Yeah, that’s it.
The newly labled silent majority is under attack by the trojan horse regime in power
The Chattanooga Muslim shooter has become “old news” quickly now that, within just a few days, an old white shooter took his place in the news. (The latest shooter doesn’t quite fit the Obama narrative since he “liked” what Obama is doing to the country.)
Run this family of offensive filthy muzzies back to their craphole in the sand.
