From the Portland Cell, I think this guy had been at Ft Lewis, where the guy who lived in this condo complex also was at one time:

* Jeffery Leon Battle : (aka Ahmad Ali and Abu Isa) Charged with Conspiracy to Levy War Against the United States, Conspiracy to Provide Material Support and Resources to Al-Qaida , Conspiracy to Contribute Services to Al-Qaida and the Taliban, Possessing Firearms in Furtherance of Crimes of Violence ; US citizen and ex-Army reservist, trained in WA, tried to travel to Afghanistan by way of China in October 2001. Battle obtained an 'administrative discharge' from US Army Reserve while he was in Bangladesh in January 2002.'. Jeffery Leon Battle and October Martinique Lewis worked as nursing assistants at a Portland retirement home, according to Lewis' mother.
