Justice Department's Newest Abu Ali Filing

HERE is the Justice Department's filing yesterday in the Abu Ali case, a motion for the court to detain Abu Ali without bond "on the grounds that he presents an exceptionally grave danger to the community and a serious risk of flight." Some points: Abu Ali's conspirator in Bush assassination plot "was killed in a shoot-out with Saudi law enforcement authorities in or around September 2003." He held a secret Jordanian passport and is also a Jordanian citizen. He received training in weapons, explosives, and document forgery from an al Qaeda cell in Saudi Arabia and possessed, in his Virginia home, a document praising Mullah Omar and describing the WTC as "the source of providing $5 Billion in annual aid to Israel." The motion also asserts that Abu Ali never claimed he was tortured when he had numerous opportunities to do so to American authorities.
