SACRAMENTO, Calif. - The second of two Islamic leaders accused by the government of plotting to set up a terror training camp in California has been deported to Pakistan, his attorney said Thursday.
Shabbir Ahmed was deported Wednesday night after dropping his opposition to a charge that he overstayed his religious visa while heading a mosque in Lodi, attorney Saad Ahmad said.
Ahmed and four other men from the mosque were arrested in June after federal authorities infiltrated the Pakistani community in Lodi and secretly recorded dozens of conversations over three years.
Muhammad Adil Khan, another religious leader from Lodi was deported last month on a similar complaint. Neither was charged with a crime. Lodi is about 30 miles south of Sacramento and has 62,000 residents.
don't let the door hit your butt on the way out.
How many more of these "clerics" are there?
Deported to do evil elsewhere... Isn't that special?

This was so quick. The evidence against them must have been really scary. I'm afraid if we knew what they planned to do to our families, we might have a lot of sleepless nights.

Magic carpet ride. Bump.
Doesn't "deportation" sound like the weak response that emboldens them. This is interesting in light of President Bush's comments today stating that the weak responses of the past led to 9/11.
To quote John Roberts, adios.
If there are none, then their damn well should be.
And have a nice day.
Buh-bye!
I thought we were engaged in a 'war on terror'
Isnt it customary in time of war to hang spies?
and those who side with the enemy..?
When mosques and Islamic training centers get flooded
can the Coast Guard enter them and search without warrants?
Or sneak back in this country for $25,000 again...
