March 7, 2007 — A former U.S. Navy sailor has been charged with allegedly passing military secrets about U.S. Navy movements through waters in the Middle East to al Qaeda-related Web sites during the spring of 2001, just months after the USS Cole was attacked in Yemen.
Hassan Abujihaad, formerly known as Paul R. Hall, allegedly passed information about U.S. Navy warship movements in the Straits of Hormuz in April 2001 while he was a member of the Navy. The information passed along contained details about vulnerabilites of U.S. vessels — including susceptibility to small boat attacks by terrorists.
Abujihaad was arrested today in Phoenix, according to a criminal complaint unsealed tonight that charged him with providing material support to terrorists who planned to kill U.S. nationals.

ping.
Firing squads are the way to go with people like this guy.
Democrat.
Can't seem to find a photograph of this traitor.
Call his butt back to active duty and give him a General Courts Martial.

Now known as Joe Wilson.
Yes! Give the Sob a court martial and then Shoot Him.After all he may have caused the deaths of the crew members of the USS Cole.
Nodding.
Okay, I guess it was AFTER the Cole. Shoot him anyway.
What's the hook to the dope that trie to buy the grenades in Chicago? I remember the report when they snagged that guy and he sounded like a loser.
Two words for this oxygen waster.
Drop chart.
How do they decide which facts to publish in a news story? This guy obviously is a convert to Islam. That conversion may well have influenced his treasonous behavior. Why does ABC apparently not consider that newsworthy? Do they think he just decided to change his name on a whim?
24/7
till 86
Insensitive? No, I am just bumming you posted it before me.
Very interesting story. Thanks for posting.
Cremate him, and nothing more needs to be done.
Get a rope
Amish? Mennonite? Naw, didn't think so......
I'm on a handheld that doesn't read the source site. Who made the arrest? The FBI?
From Daniel Pipes' Weblog dated August 14, 2004.
Hassan Abujihaad, 25, a convert to Islam and a former communications specialist for the U.S. Navy, he stands accused of sending e-mail messages to a pro-Taliban Internet site run by Babar Ahmad while serving on the guided-missile destroyer Benfold in the Middle East during 2000-01. As the Los Angeles Times delicately puts it, "Federal agents are trying to determine how Ahmad ended up in possession of detailed and highly classified information about the San Diego-based aircraft carrier battle group that the Benfold was part of, including its classified travel plans and its vulnerability to attack." (August 14, 2004)
ARTICLE SNIPPET (from link posted at top of thread):
"The complaint claims Abujihaad was an associate of Derrick Shareef, who allegedly tried to explode grenades at the CherryVale Mall outside Chicago during the height of the holiday shopping season last December. Shareef was arrested on Dec. 6, 2006, when he traded stereo speakers for dud grenades in an FBI sting operation."
yes
Horrible. A firing squad is in order.
ARTICLE SNIPPET (from link posted at the top of this thread):
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Abujihaad's arrest arises out of the investigation of Babar Ahmad, who is suspected of developing radical Islamic Web sites popular with members of al Qaeda and other mujahedeen. Ahmad was indicted in the United States in 2004 for allegedly providing material support to Chechen terrorist groups and the Taliban."
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "From 1997 until his arrest in 2004, Ahmad allegedly ran Web sites for Azzam Publications, which used to carry propaganda for al Qaeda, including bin Laden's 1996 Declaration of War against the United States. The Azzam Web site was a key recruitment and propaganda tool for al Qaeda and mujahedeen."
That was my first thought when I read this.
Death is too good for him!
By chance, is the former Mr. Hall a member of the "Red Bow-Tie" religion?
I'm quickly coming to the belief that NO Muslims should be allowed to serve in the Military. The security risk is just too high.
I vote to keelhaul him.
ON THE NET...
OFF TOPIC, but an interesting point:

"Myth, reality and Jihadist Use of the Internet"
ARTICLE SNIPPET:
http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=2933058&page=2
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "According to an indictment in a related case unsealed last July, a defendant named Sayed Talha Ahsan, "In or about April 2001 the defendant [Ahsan] … possessed, accessed, modified and resaved a document containing then-classified United States Navy plans of a United States Naval Battle Group operating in the Straits of Hormuz and discussing the Naval Group's vulnerabilities to terrorist attack."
According to the indictment, Ahsan allegedly helped run the Web sites with Ahmad."
First thing I asked myself was "Why?" Then I saw his name. Maximum sentence needed.
Very interesting..
Yep.
Who da thunk.

U.S. seeks extradition of Briton linked to al Qaeda
By Jerry Seper
THE WASHINGTON TIMES
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "According to an affidavit in the case, Mr. Ahmad communicated with a U.S. Navy enlistee aboard the USS Benfold, a guided missile destroyer, who was said to be "sympathetic to al Qaeda causes." The sailor tentatively has been identified as Hassan Abujihaad, who served aboard the Benfold in 2000 and 2001.
The sailor voiced what the affidavit said was "strong support" for the mujahedeen, including praise for those who attacked the USS Cole in Yemen killing 17 sailors as "men who have brought honor this week to the ummah [community of Islamic believers] in the lands of Jihad Afghanistan, Bosnia, Chechnya, etc.""
Thread ping.
this loser could even find a way to hang himself with 10' of chow line.
There.
I fixed it.
From the flagpole.
By the balls.
I'm just sayin'.
Not good. We may see another Stark within the next 2 years unfortunately.
