Assassination: Something to Laugh About?
Supporters of Ahmed Omar Abu Ali, indicted today for conspiring to assassinate the President, actually laughed when the charge was read in court. (Hat tip: heretic.)
More than 100 supporters of Abu Ali crowded the courtroom Tuesday and laughed when the charge was read aloud alleging that he conspired to assassinate Bush.
Here’s where the crowd of “supporters” came from: Muslim American Society. (Hat tip: SoCalJustice.)
Ahmed Abu-Ali’s family and MAS Freedom Foundation have been informed by the United States government that Abu-Ali has returned to the U.S. and will appear Tuesday, February 22, 2005 before a magistrate at the Eastern District 4th Circuit Federal Courthouse in Alexandria, Virginia at 9:00 AM.
The Freedom Foundation will post any new developments concerning Abu-Ali on its website immediately.
MAS FREEDOM FOUNDATION URGES EVERYONE TO ATTEND THE ARRAINGMENT.
“We’re deeply grateful to the Almighty for the return of Abu-Ali the United States of America,” said Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation Executive Director Mahdi Bray. “However, I am still greatly troubled and concerned about the manner in which our government has dealt with Abu Ali and his family.
”Nothing short of his release and return to his family is acceptable to us,” stated Bray.
