(AP) `Supermax' inmate sent letters allegedly used to recruit terrorists FLORENCE, Colo.
A man convicted in the 1993 World Trade Center sent letters suspected of being used by a Spanish tcell to recruit suicide, despite his being incarcerated at the U.S. Penitentiary-Administrative Maximum Facility, or "Supermax," NBC News reported Monday. Letters from Mohammed Salameh were found on Mohamed Achraf, one of 17 people charged in October in Spain for an alleged plot to blow up that country's National Court. One of the letters to Achraf, the alleged leader of the, obtained by the network reads: "Oh God! Make us live with happiness, make us die as martyrs, may we be united on the day of Judgment." One of those also faces charges for allegedly using letters from World Trade Center to recruit, the network reported. A letter sent by Salameh from prison was published in the Al-Quds newspaper, which read in part, "Osama Bin Laden is my hero of this generation." Inmates at "Supermax" and other top security federal penitentiaries have strict restrictions, including having their mail inspected. It was unclear how Salameh was able to send the letters. Wendy Montgomery, a spokeswoman at "Supermax," did not immediately return a phone call. U.S. Department of Justice officials in Washington referred calls to the Bureau of Prisons. According to the Spanish court documents obtained by NBC, at least 14 letters went back and forth between the World Trade Center and the Spanish cell. "Supermax" or "Alcatraz of the Rockies" opened in Florence in 1994 as a place to put problem prisoners. Convicted "Unabomber" Ted Kaczynski and Ramzi Yousef, mastermind of the 1993 of the World Trade Center in New York City were sent here.
