“Shadow of Ali Mohamed Hangs Over Nosair Appeal”
SNIPPET: “The New York Times reports today that New York-area jihadist El Sayyid Nosair is appealing his sentence for terrorism-related conspiracy in the 1995 prosecution that brought down the “blind Sheikh” Omar Abdel Rahman.
The heart of Nosair’s appeal revolves around Al Qaeda’s mysterious spy, Ali Mohamed, who successfully infiltrated the U.S. Army during the 1980s, partially succeeded in infiltrating the FBI and was thwarted in a similar attempt against the CIA.
Nosair’s argument, the kernel of which has been covered on this site and in my new book, Jihad Joe: Americans Who Go to War in the Name of Islam, is that prosecutors concealed Mohamed’s location from the defense, which wanted to subpoena him as a witness.
First thing first: Mohamed’s participation in the case would not have made a material difference in Nosair’s verdict. His conviction was based on a raft of evidence pertaining to his assassination of radical rabbi Meir Kahane in November 1990 and his direction of other terrorist attempts from prison afterward.
Mohamed provided Nosair and others with training and support materials.”
