SNIPPET: "ABU DHABI // A Lebanese American who faces terrorism charges is linked to al Qa’eda, the Federal Supreme Court was told yesterday.

Naji Hamdan, 43, is charged with promoting terrorism, participating in the work of a terrorist organisation and funding a terrorist organisation.

Details of the charges, all relating to alleged activity outside the UAE, emerged for the first time yesterday.

A lawyer for the State Security Public Prosecution told the court: “Naji Hamdan is directly linked to Ansar al-Sunna and al Qa’eda members through electronic communication.”

Ansar al-Sunna is a militant Sunni faction in Iraq connected to al Qa’eda."

SNIPPET: “Ah, yes, we know Mr. Hamdan well. It’s good to finally have a face on the person who was the long time money man for Ansar al-Sunnah (now, once again, calling itself Ansar al-Islam).

Expect more later.

Meh. Zero will ‘Mirandize’ them. Just like the Dog Pound does a ‘Catch, Neuter, Release’ system. Except they’ll leave out the ‘neuter’ stage of the process.
