New Haven (AP) _ A federal judge says prosecutors may not introduce at trial a claim that a former Navy sailor plotted to attack military personnel. Hassan Abu-Jihaad is charged with disclosing the location of Navy ships to terrorism supporters.

The 31-year-old Abu-Jihaad of Phoenix pleaded not guilty in April to charges he provided material support to terrorists with intent to kill U.S. citizens and disclosed classified information relating to national defense. He is accused of disclosing the location of Navy ships and the best ways to attack them.

During a hearing in November, prosecutors played secretly recorded phone calls as they tried to show how Abu-Jihaad spoke in code about plotting sniper attacks on military personnel and recruiting stations. Some of the calls were with his former roommate who was convicted in November in an unrelated plot to attack an Illinois mall with hand grenades.
