Al Qaeda-linked terror suspect James Ujaama has received a two-year sentence in return for giving up information about some big terrorfish: Ujaama case comes to end.

James Ujaama, the former Seattle man indicted in August 2002 on charges of conspiring to set up a terrorist training camp in Oregon, appears to have been an ideal man for federal prosecutors to lean on for information about al-Qaida’s global terror network.

By all accounts, he has been a wealth of information about high-level terror suspects around the globe — and he has been extremely cooperative in sharing that information with federal investigators since signing a plea agreement in April.

In exchange, U.S. District Judge Barbara Rothstein confirmed a prenegotiated, two-year sentence yesterday minus the time he’s already served and agreed Ujaama could serve the remaining months in a halfway house instead of a federal detention center.

Ujaama had faced 25 years in federal prison if convicted of all the charges originally levied against him. With credit for time served, his release is set for the end of July.

“Mr. Ujaama has provided substantial assistance to the United States against significant targets,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Andrew Hamilton said yesterday at the sentencing hearing.

Among other things, Ujaama, 37, has provided information about Abu Hamza al-Masri, the London Islamic leader who is suspected of recruiting jihad fighters for the Taliban and al-Qaida.

The Egyptian-born Abu Hamza is wanted in Yemen for his alleged role in the 1998 kidnappings of 16 Western tourists by the Islamic Army of Aden. Four of the hostages died during a shootout. The Treasury Department has frozen his assets in this country, but he has not yet been charged in the United States.

There are two Windows Media videos on this page showing “an American Muslim, one of many who has been to Afghanistan,” and I believe it’s James Ujaama although he is not identified.

If he is truly repentant, that’s great; but these videos show an individual who is barely able to contain his hatred. Let’s hope that Mr. Ujaama doesn’t return to the global jihad as soon as he’s not being watched.
