Jury Selection Set to Begin in 'Violent Jihad' Georgia Terror Plot Trial

ATLANTA — Choppy homemade videos, a mysterious trek to Bangladesh and ties to a convicted Balkan terrorist are at the center of a federal case against a 23-year-old accused supporting terrorism.

Ehsanul Islam Sadequee could face up to 60 years in prison on four charges that he conspired to help overseas terrorists wage "violent jihad" on America. Jury selection is to begin Monday and the trial is expected to last at least a week.

Sadequee made a series of short videos of the U.S. Capitol and other landmarks with a friend, Syed Ahmed, in April 2005. Prosecutors said the men were "casing" the landmarks, while defense attorneys have downplayed them, calling them silly and juvenile.

The videos helped sway a federal judge in June to convict Ahmed, a 24-year-old former Georgia Tech student who will be sentenced after Sadequee's trial. Ahmed could face up to 15 years in prison.

Sadequee's trial is also likely to focus on other allegations, including claims he ventured to Bangladesh to try to ]

Feed him to the pigs.

I'm sure it has something to do with honor and such, but in all honesty, wouldnt it be in their best interest to change their name?

Not trying to be racist or whatever, but let's be honest, Ehsanul Islam Sadequee is a little more noticeable than let's say, Derrick Smith in this situation.

We are still in the steep portion of the learning curve for domestic terrs, give them a few years and that will get as savvy as the "ali babas".

Either shoot he bastard or take him to the war zone and shoot him there ! This is what happens when our borders are open and the govt doesn't give a shit about it. Our govt needs to be More ProActive when dealing with terrorists (which they probably are but we have no info about). These people aren't Jaywalkers or Speeders they should be shot for trying to Overthrow our govt Period ! Course I could say the same for Most of Congress but that is for another thread !

American citizens ought to be tried by a jury of their peers.

Indeed. Although the amount of loopholes and bullshit the lawyers can pull for the defendant's nowadays is scary. You can have full on confessions from murderers about when, how, why they did it and where the body is, but it wont mean a thing because the confession was thrown out on a technicality.

Still, if he is a legit American citizen, he should be taken through the proper process.
