Zarqawi Associate Charged with Lying to FBI

Friday, June 25, 2004

By Catherine Herridge and Anna Stolley

A Lebanese national with ties to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi (search), the most wanted terrorist in Iraq, was picked up in Minnesota and charged Friday in a New York court with lying to the FBI about his ties to terrorists, Fox News has learned.

According to a federal complaint obtained by Fox, Mohamad Kamal Elzahabi (search), attended jihad training camps in Afghanistan in 1988 and ‘89, where he first met Zarqawi — who is believed to be directing the current attacks against U.S. and coalition troops in Iraq.

Officials say that more serious charges, such as material support to terrorism, may follow.

The court papers allege that Elzahabi admitted to personally knowing two of Al Qaeda's (search) most prominent leaders, Abu Zubaida and Khalid Sheikh Mohammed (search), described as the mastermind behind the Sept. 11 attacks.

Investigators with the FBI's joint terrorism task force say Elzahabi ran a shipping business from New York City and lied about knowing whether his company sent portable field radios and walkie talkies to fighters in Afghanistan.

Elzahabi, 41, has been in federal custody as a material witness since May. The charges he faced Friday are part of an international terrorism investigation.

I hope that security at the Great Mall of America is tightened!

That is a premier terrorist soft target, IMHO.

They would indeed!

Thanks for the ping. Hopefully this punk will disappear down a dark whole for awhile. He could prove useful. Sometimes I wish I could change my freepname to "Knotted Rope"--Let the beatings begin!

what is it with Minnesota anyway ? A little colony or cell there somewhere......

I'll wager that you can find Islamonazi vermin taking refuge in almost every democrat-run American city that has repudiated the Patriot Act. In fact, one actually worked for the leftist mayor of a city in Oregon.

He SHOULD BE "QUESTIONED" DOWN TO the "Molecular Level," & THEN DESTROYED--UTTERLY.

Great line. Somewhere between the molecular level and the destruction, can we put Hillary's crusty black pantsuit on his head?
