FBI accuses man of lying in terror case
Globe Staff / November 12, 2008
Statements that Tarek Mehanna allegedly made to the FBI two years ago in the midst of a terrorism investigation came back to haunt him last weekend, when the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy graduate was arrested as he was about to board a Boston flight to start a new job overseas.

The affidavit filed in Mehanna’s case in Boston says that Maldonado admitted to authorities that while in the southern part of Somalia, he called Mehanna and, using code words, urged him to join in fighting for an Islamic state in Somalia.
The affidavit says Mehanna told the cooperating witness that when Maldonado called him from Somalia he did not say anything that provided direct evidence that he was doing anything illegal.
But, Mehanna told the witness that Maldonado used code words, including “culinary school” and the phrase, “making peanut butter and jelly sandwiches,” which meant, “I’m here fighting,” according to the affidavit.
