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.

Torture the basturd until he sings like a canary.

I hope that security at the Great Mall of America is tightened!
That is a premier terrorist soft target, IMHO.
Pie? Everybody loves pie.
I hope America catch that evil man dead or alive.
In the old west, the good folks would say "Get a rope!"
As a matter of fact, we have a freeper with a fitting.
Since people seem to be invoking your handle.....Pong
that should be 'fitting name'. Guess it's getting late......
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!
My Liberal State seems to be awash in terrorists. I wonder why? Oh yes its the liberal's welcoming all in.
Just how did a state like Minn. get so left wing?
It might not be just MN. The 5 state area has only 2 republican senators. ND,SD,Iowa,Wisconsin,MN
Yeah.....I don't get it. Farmers wanting democratic subsidies?

He admits to knowing Khalid Sheikh Muhammad
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.
Al Frakin,Aron Brown,Jessica Lange,Garrison Keiller Greg Kilborn. Need I say more about MN.
Great line. Somewhere between the molecular level and the destruction, can we put Hillary's crusty black pantsuit on his head?
Put panties on his head.
bump. update... Zarqawi is dead, but not surprised he had a fan in Minnesota.
