Terror trial witness: Farm turned into jihad training camp

The wife of the owner of an alleged jihad training camp in Oregon testified at the trial of radical British Imam Abu Hamza al-Masri on Tuesday that she hoped to teach Muslims about canning and raising lambs, but ended up instead hosting a cadre of armed militants.

Eva Hatley said that in addition to practicing knife-throwing, shooting rifles at a deer target and discussing plans to kidnap truckers, visitors sent by Abu Hamza to her Bly ranch boasted of terror skills and one claimed to be a “hit man” for Osama bin Laden.

“It wasn’t anything like I had envisioned for the property,” said Hatley, who spent time in the federal witness protection program.
