Prosecutors asserted that Benkhala has "a history of association with terror" and presented previously sealed evidence linking him to a man named Ahmed Abu-Ali, who was arrested in Saudi Arabia in the May 12 Riyadh bombings that claimed 25 victims. Laufman said Abu-Ali, who once lived in Falls Church, joined an al-Qaida cell in Saudi Arabia in 2001, and was told he needed to either organize a terrorist operation or return to the United States and establish an al-Qaida cell.
Benkhala had Abu-Ali's phone number on a handwritten address list, Laufman said.
The phone list also included a contact for Ibrahim Buisir, a Libyan-born resident of Ireland who ran an Islamic charity suspected of funneling money to bin Laden, Laufman said.
The US Federal Judge is a bitch not to be trusted. She would reject most motions even if someone shoved a stick of dynamite up her arse and asked her to cough.
Just a broad shot in the darkness of tin foil, wasn't Falls Church one of the hubs for the DC snipers?
