NEW HAVEN, Conn. - A former Navy sailor has been convicted of leaking details of ship movements to suspected terrorism supporters.

Jurors were in their second day of deliberations when they convicted Hassan Abu-Jihaad of Phoenix of providing material support to terrorists and disclosing classified national defense information.

Federal prosecutors had urged a jury to convict the 32-year-old of leaking ship movements to suspected terrorists, saying he sympathized with the enemy and admitted disclosing military intelligence.

But his attorney said an investigation that spanned two continents over four years failed to turn up proof that Abu-Jihaad leaked details of ship movements and their vulnerability to attack.

Give him a ham sandwich for his last meal, and then march him to the yardarm.

The enemy within Ping!

[Bulldawg Fan]

Cover his wretched body in pork fat and throw him in a hole afterwards. Farewell human crap.

[Gator101]

KEEL-HAUL HIM! (under a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier preferably)

“Hassan Abu-Jihaad”

There is just something in this name...

[rightwingintelligentsia]

“Hassan Abu-Jihaad”

Do you think that could have been a tip-off to the Navy?

[Dante3]

What nationality is this traitor?

[livius]

He’s a native-born American convert.

[lilylangtree]

Freedom fry the traitor.

[Jeff Head]

In a time of war when he is giving this information to the very enemies we are fighting...the sentence, after conviction, should be automatic and it should be death.

Keel-haul this vermin and if he survives that, hang what's left by the neck until dead.

“Hassan Abu-Jihaad”
Do you think that could have been a tip-off to the Navy?

I dunno. "Son of Jihad" is pretty subtle. The extra "a" in Jihaad probably threw them. Political correctness requires leaving one's brains at home.

I wonder what would have happened if the guy named himself "Son of Der Fuhrer" or "Son of the Holocaust"?

Incidentally, this guy once roomed with Derrick Shareef, the guy who was going to blow up the suburban Chicago mall last December.

In "Pentagon Jihadis," I listed eight American soldiers and sailors associated with jihad against the United States. But that column came out in September 2003 and their numbers continue to grow. Here is a listing of new jihadis as they appear. (Also, see my related weblog entry, "Islamists Infiltrate Law Enforcement, as well as a discussion of this problem by Hugh Fitzgerald, "Why should we take a chance? Muslims in the armed forces.")

Hassan Abujihaad (original name: Paul R. Hall), arrested for terrorism.

Who said profiling was wrong?

That name rings a bell.
