Exhibit list alleges connections among 3 accused of terror plots
http://www.bucyrustelegraphforum.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070608/UPD ATES01/70608002 COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) - Three Ohio men accused in separate terrorism plots were friendly enough to exchange calls and e-mails, take trips together and even use one another as personal references, newly released government records show. The U.S. Attorney's Office filed the exhibit list of 102 items in federal court ahead of the August trial of Nuradin Abdi, charged with plotting to blow up an unspecified, Columbus-area mall shopping mall. The alleged plot was not carried out. The list includes references to meetings, phone calls and trips the government has previously alleged in various court filings. Put together, the exhibits provide one of the first comprehensive glimpses of the evidence federal prosecutors may present against Abdi. Abdi, a Somali immigrant, sent e-mails in 2001 and 2002 to a man later convicted of trying to destroy the Brooklyn Bridge, according to the list filed late Thursday in U.S. District Court in Columbus. An e-mail on July 31, 2001, from Abdi to Iyman Faris showed Web sites for night vision equipment and anti-surveillance equipment, according to the list. Faris was sentenced in 2003 to 20 years in prison for a plot to topple the Brooklyn Bridge. Abdi also called phone numbers for Christopher Paul, an Ohio man accused of joining al-Qaida and plotting to bomb European tourist resorts, and took a trip with him to Pittsburgh in September 2002. He also put Paul down as a personal reference on a 2001 job application. Abdi may have been an angry man but wasn't involved in any terrorism conspiracy, his lawyer, Mahir Sheriff, said Friday.
