Hearing set for Ft. Lewis soldier accused of aiding al Qaida

05-11-04
FT. LEWIS - A military hearing is scheduled tomorrow at Fort Lewis for National Guard soldier Ryan Anderson who is accused of trying to give information to al-Qaida.

The preliminary hearing will determine whether Anderson will face a court martial.

He is charged with attempting to give terrorists information about troop strength and tactics, as well as methods for killing Army personnel. If convicted, he could face the death penalty.

Army investigators say Anderson gave information to undercover agents, believing they were part of al-Qaida - sketches of tanks and a computer disk that included his passport photo, weapons card and military I.D. card.

The 26-year-old Lynnwood man was arrested in February as his Fort Lewis tank crew was preparing to be deployed to Iraq.

Anderson is a 2002 Washington State University graduate who converted to Islam in college.

This POS deserves a General Court Martial for treason. If he is found guilty, he should be shot!
