NEW YORK — A Yemeni sheik accused of funneling millions of dollars to terrorist networks warned U.S. agents that "Allah will bring storms" to America because of his arrest, according to newly filed court papers.
Mohammed Ali Hassan al-Moayad (search ) made the remark last year after a German court ordered him extradited to the United States to face charges he helped finance Al Qaeda (search) and Hamas, prosecutors said in the documents filed in U.S. District Court.
The statement — spoken in English to agents bringing al-Moayad from Frankfurt to New York on Nov. 16, 2003 — counter defense claims that he has no command of the language, prosecutors said.
"Allah is with me," he allegedly told a detective. "I am Mohammed al-Moayad. Allah will bring storms to Germany and America."
Prosecutors have previously alleged al-Moayad was overheard boasting about his relationship with Usama bin Laden, saying in Arabic that bin Laden "tells me that I'm his sheik."
The defense claims his statements during a sting operation at a hotel in Frankfurt were mistranslated from Arabic by FBI informant Mohamed Alanssi (search), who set himself on fire outside the White House last month.
The new documents, filed late Friday, offer details of al-Moayad's conversations with an undercover FBI operative posing as an American Muslim eager to donate $2.5 million to terrorist causes.
"Where is my money going to? Is it going to Hamas? Or is it Al Qaeda? ... I need to know," the operative demanded during one clandestine meeting, according to the court papers.
Al-Moayad allegedly responded: "The way we see it is to support all organizations — Hamas, Al Qaeda ... mujahideen and such. Everybody that we learn is fighting jihad to raise God's word we shall support."

Methinks the Shiek has a rather overinflated opinion of hisself. Lock the jackass up and stick sharp things into him for more details.
