Trial date set for US terror plotters

[Behind the Aegis]

A judge has set an Oct. 24, 2006, trial date for four men accused of plotting terrorist attacks on military facilities and synagogues in the United States, prosecutors said.

Levar Haley Washington, 25, Gregory Vernon Patterson, 21, Hammad Riaz Samana, 21, and Kevin James, 29, have been accused of conspiring to wage war against the US government through terrorism, kill armed service members and murder foreign officials.

All but Samana, a Pakistani national, are American-born and Muslim converts.

Prosecutors contend the plot was orchestrated by Washington, Patterson and Hammad Riaz Samana, 21, at the behest of Kevin James, an inmate of the California State Prison, Sacramento. James, 29, founded the radical group Jamiyyat Ul-Islam Is-Saheeh, or JIS.

2. Thanks for posting this. The article points up a few things

we probably don't think about often - primarily the fact that terrorists don't necessarily have to come from overseas. But also, the prison system isn't working. We have an enormous number of people in jail, who frequently become victims themselves. I think that's inexcusable. We shouldn't be running a system which permits the brutalization of prisoners.

Beyond that, our prisons appear to have become breeding grounds for extremists and gangs.

I'm sure glad they caught these guys.

Tragedy is on the horizon.

4. WHY have all these men become so angry?

Is it some US or Israeli policy, or is it just because there's nothing worth a fuck to watch on television anymore?
