HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A British computer specialist was indicted Wednesday on charges he used U.S.-based Web sites to recruit al-Qaida, Taliban and Chechen fighters and outfit them with gas masks, night-vision goggles and camouflage gear.
Babar Ahmad, 30, was arrested in London in August and has been held there for extradition to the United States. Wednesday’s indictment accuses him of supporting terrorism, conspiring to kill Americans and laundering money.
Ahmad allegedly ran several sites, including Azzam.com, which investigators say was used to promote holy war and funnel money to terrorists.
The Web site allegedly encouraged people to train in street combat, land mine operations and sniper combat. Financial donors were told to smuggle cash into Pakistan and pass it to the Taliban’s consul general, investigators said.
“If you’re supporting the Taliban and the Taliban is killing American soldiers, we’re alleging you’re conspiring to kill American citizens abroad,” Connecticut U.S. Attorney Kevin O’Connor said.
Investigators said Ahmad also obtained classified military documents describing the movements and formations of a Navy battle group. He was exchanging e-mails with an enlisted man aboard the USS Benfold, a Navy destroyer, authorities said.
Authorities have not identified the man, who investigators said was sympathetic to the jihad cause.
The Navy documents described the Benfold’s vulnerabilities to attacks by small boats, prosecutors said in court papers.
The charges were filed in Connecticut because Ahmad allegedly used an Internet service provider in the state to host one of his sites.
Babar is also charged with maintaining e-mail contact with a Chechen rebel leader. Chechen rebels and their supporters have been blamed or taken responsibility for several terrorist acts in Russia, including a hostage-taking at a school last month.

Well, I am what I am...nothing to hide... so what the heck
What a concept - HONESTY - refreshing to say the least!
Excellent Bell! See, that campus watch is enlightening isn't it?
Why do we go on so many hunting trails? Why does one always lead to another? I am very concerned by the following I've learned today for if Kerry were elected we would be in more trouble than we know!
Started out innocently enough with this article. My 16 yr old son who has more brains than libs, thank God for homeschooling! He questioned Kerry's tie and then this I think on TM:
Kerry’s Secret Muslim Connections

Which of course lead to all of the following, every American should be told about this! It is more disturbing than Swiftboat! Because it affects WHY he has the so-called 'plan' Thank goodness for Frontpage!
For the next 30 days we should make all of Congress, our President , media, anyone listen and report this!
Here we go:

January 27, 2004
But Kerry receives far more Muslim money than his wife’s foundations give. As this column documented last January, one of Kerry’s biggest money men, who bankrolled the Senator’s primary campaign with more than $180,000, is Hassan Nemazee. This Iranian-American investor raised a cool $250,000 for Al Gore in November 1995. Nemazee and his family slushed another $150,000 to Democrats during the mid-1990s. Six Nemazee family members and friends (including the caretaker of his 12-acre Katonah, N.Y., estate) donated a total of $60,000 – the maximum legally allowed -- to Bill Clinton’s legal defense fund.

BIG donor to Kerry and Teresa:
It says that Hassan Nemazee is a "New York investor." True enough, but there is quite a story that goes with his investing, and it is not a happy one. People who have done business with this man have come to regret it {{Kinda like Soros}

An enemy of the State, James Zogby not to be confused with conservative brother John of the Zogby poll:
As I've been saying for months, resarch has shown us the get out the Muslim vote and James has it on his inflammatory
Arab American Institute (AAI)
Dr. James J. Zogby is founder and president of the Arab American Institute (AAI), a Washington, D.C.-based organization which serves as the political and policy research arm of the Arab American community. Since 1985, Dr. Zogby and AAI have led Arab American efforts to secure political empowerment in the U.S. Through voter registration, education and mobilization, AAI has moved Arab Americans into the political mainstream.

(Five months later, in February 2004 the always-duplicitous John Kerry days after a Jerusalem suicide bombing told the Jerusalem Post that Israel’s security fence was a “legitimate act of self-defense.”)

One little-noticed reason why the Kerry campaign has used every dirty trick it could devise to keep Ralph Nader off state ballots is not only that he siphons away leftwing voters but also that this Lebanese-American siphons off Arab-American votes. Nader on the ballot likely would win between nine and 20 percent of the votes of his fellow ethnic Arab-Americans. But despite these anti-democratic Democrat dirty tricks, Nader is presently on the ballot in Florida, Pennsylvania and Michigan.
{{Now granted the Muslim vote here only comprises about 1% of the total vote, but do YOU want extremists deciding who should be running our country?!}}
Money may explain some of Kerry’s support among Muslim-American activists. The Council for American Islamic Relations (CAIR), for example, has pocketed grant money from the leftwing Tides Foundation. The Tides Foundation, wrote FrontPage Magazine’s Ben Johnson, has been generously supported with fungible money from the Heinz Endowments controlled by John Kerry’s wife Teresa.

In the closing days of 1998 Clinton named Nemazee his Ambassador-designate to Argentina. Hillary Clinton embraced the Muslim moneyman at a January 1999 White House celebration of the Islamic holiday Eid. The Senate, however, refused to confirm the controversial nominee after a Forbes Magazine investigation exposed Nemazee’s questionable business dealings. “He was,” said a bitter former business partner, “the Iranian equivalent of J.R. Ewing.”

Senator Kerry has proposed not only to open a “dialogue” with the Islamist dictators of Iran if he is elected President, but also to help the Iran theocracy become a member of the World Trade Organization (WTO).
On April 7, 2004 in an interview with leftwing National Public Radio, John Kerry described the fanatical Shiite imam Muqtada al-Sadr (who has murdered American soldiers and Iraqi civilians, and has armed his militia with weapons almost certainly supplied by neighboring Shiite Iran) as a “legitimate voice” in Iraq.

The survival or death of Israel if Kerry becomes President could be decided by the highest bidder.
