US: Albany, NY Mosque Leaders Indicted Again
In Albany, NY, a federal grand jury yesterday made two new indictments charging leaders of a local mosque with conspiring to support terrorists, acccording to abc news. Yassin Aref and Mohammed Hossain were charged with attempting to provide support to Jaish-e-Mohammed, a Pakistani extremist group, which is listed on the State Department's notice of foreign terrorist organisations.
35-year old Aref, who is the imam at Masijid As-Salam mosque, was charged with making a false statement, when he denied being involved with any organisations. He was charged too with making false statements to the FBI when he was arrested in August 2004, and denied being a member of the Islamic Movement in Kurdistan.
Mohammed Hossain, 50-year old founder of the mosque at Albany, and Aref have been free on $250,000 bond since August 2004, shortly after their initial arrests. The FBI had been investigating them for a year with an undercover agent. Initially they were indicted with 19 charges, including working with the FBI agent who posed as an arms dealer, and suggested to Hossain that he should hold money from the sale of a shoulder-held missile launcher which would be used to kill a Pakistani diplomat in New York City. Aref witnessed the financial deals and wrote receipts, but has denied knowledge of any missile weapon, despite being pictured in an FBI photo, holding it. In the same photo, Hossain is looking on.
