MONTGOMERY, Ala. -- State officials say an investigation uncovered no evidence that a camp near Marion was used as a terrorist training camp.
Wednesday night, ABC News said the camp could have possible ties to Osama bin Laden's terror network.
A Tuscaloosa man operates the Marion Camp, called Ground Zero USA.
Marion Police Chief Tony Buford said he was misquoted. Buford said the camp is used by police officers from Alabama and Louisiana for training that includes target practice.
NBC News first reported in December that a man with alleged Al-Qaida ties, named Zain Ul Albidin, was arrested in Great Britain. Albidin alleged that terrorists trained in the camp in Marion.
A spokesman for Gov. Don Siegelman and Department of Public Safety officials said they are aware of the reports. But after conducting background investigations of the site they found no reason to be concerned.
The camp made news again Wednesday because Albidin is being questioned in connection with the terror attacks of Sept. 11.
