ALEXANDRIA, Va. - A former third-grade teacher at a Muslim school was sentenced to 15 years in prison Friday for providing support to a Pakistani terrorist organization. ADVERTISEMENT
Ali Asad Chandia, 29, who taught at the al-Huda school in College Park, Md., is one of 11 Muslim men convicted in what prosecutors called a "Virginia jihad network." The network involved a group of men who played paintball in the Virginia woods in 2000 and 2001 as a means of training for global holy war.
After the Sept. 11 attacks, some group members turned their efforts against the United States, traveling to Pakistan with the goal of receiving military training and joining the Taliban in its fight against U.S. troops. None ever made it into Afghanistan.
At his sentencing hearing, Chandia maintained his innocence and said he would exact revenge against prosecutors in the afterlife.
A third grade teacher. Isn't a muslim school just another name for terrorist training camp?
Only 5 years? And the other 10?
I think their 32 kids will be ready for jihad before the trial is over. We really do need some new laws to deal with the jihad in our country. They are not citizens they are jihads.
Where are our leaders?
I am watching such a school being built just South of Lodi Ca. It scares the death out of me.
