Police found two pipe bombs in their vehicle and the bombs were later detonated safely by explosives ordnance personnel. The two are currently charged with possession of explosives.

![]() James Ujaama Haroon Rashid Aswat Abu Hamza al-Masri Oussama Abdullah Kassir |
James Ujaama and his friends
Oussama Kassir and Haroon Aswat were charged with the attempt to
establish a Jihadist training camp in Bly, Oregon. As early as
2002, U.S. officials began asking for extradition for many of the
members of the cult who had fled when their rather clumsey attempt
became noticed by Klamath County Sheriffs who had received complaints
of gunfire. Ujaama was a close associate of Abu Hamza al-Masri
who is currently serving time in British prison for enciting acts of
terrorism. According to DoJ documents, Masri asked Ujaama to meet
with him and Haroon
Aswat (charged with offering material support to terrorists) in
London to plan the training camp to be established outside the small
wooded Oregon town. According to the DoJ, " The purpose of the
Bly jihad training camp was to provide a place where Muslims
could receive various types of training, including military-style jihad
training, in preparation for a community of Muslims to move to
Afghanistan. Once in Afghanistan, the men in the community would have
gained enough
familiarity with weapons at the Bly jihad training camp to fight jihad
or to
continue with additional jihad training in Afghanistan. In a letter
faxed from
one of the co-conspirators to another, the property in Bly was
described as
located in a "pro-militia and fire-arms state" that "looks just like
Afghanistan," and the author stated that the group was "stock-piling
weapons and
ammunition." A witness (so far not charged in this case) is a
former Guantanimo prisoner of British citizenship Feroz
Abbasi. Abassi, who was forced to be
released by British pressure on the U.S., had tied up the links
between Ujaama, al-Masri and others in the terrorist network and
claimed that Ujaama helped him (Abassi) get into an Al-Qaeda terrorist
training camp in Afghanistan. It is not clear whether Abassi will
be extradited as a witness for the DoJ, however, the okay for the
extradition of al-Masri will undoubtedly take the case off the back
burner. On February 7, 2008, British Authorities finally signed the paperwork to allow Masri to be extradited for trial in the U.S. |
Ujaama pled
guilty to chages, Aswat
was pending extradition in August of 2005. Kassir was
extradited in September of 2007. al-Masri , who is already
serving a seven year sentence in the U.K., was approved for extradition
on November 15, 2007 |

Jose
PadillaAdham Amin Hassoun Kifah Wael Jayyousi Mohamed Youssef Kassem Daher |
In the Superceding
Indictment the defendants are charged with the following:
Padilla's trial was delayed when his lawyer claimed one of the counts in the three count indictment was a duplicate, perhaps bringing into effect the protection against double jeopardy. January 31, 2007: the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Miami reversed a lower court decision and reinstated the additional count. The trial is now expected to begin on April 16, 2007. Shortly thereafter the lawyers began setting the stage to claim Padilla was unable mentally to stand trial. February 28, 2007: the Judge U.S. District Judge Marcia Cooke, ruled that Padilla (whose lawyers claimed was suffering from Stockholm syndrome and Post-Traumatic Stress) was competent enough to stand trial. In early 2007, Padilla's lawyer submitted a motion that Padilla's time in a U.S. detention center denied his right to a speedy trial, but U.S. District Court Judge denied the motion and once again said the court date will be April 16, 2007 Judge Cooke also denied a motion to restrict the use of the names Osama bin Laden and Al-Qaeda or the words "terrorist" or "violent Jihad". After agreeing with the government's request to deny most of the motions, Judge Clarke did agree on several. Cooke agreed that Padilla's interrogation statements were off-limits as prosecution evidence, but she put off ruling whether any of them could be introduced to refute or counter testimony during the trial. The statements are considered inadmissible because Padilla did not have a lawyer present and was not read his Miranda rights. April 10, 2007: In what appears to be the final attempt at forestalling the trial, a motion was made by the defense that the government had tortured Padialla while in the navy brig he was being held in, and thus the case should be dismissed due to "outrageous government conduct." Judge Marcia Cooke rejected the motion, saying that while she wasn't making any judgment on the accusation of torture, the motion was faulty on legal grounds. The trail remains on schedule for April 16, 2007. April 16, 2007: Trial began May 10, 2007. The Jury was seated August 7, 2007: Padilla's defense rested its case without calling any witnesses. August 16,2007: Padilla, Hassoun, and Jayyousi were found guilty on all three counts and could face life in prison. |
Three of those indiicted
by the DOJ , Padilla, Hassoun and Jayyousi have pled not
guilty. The trial is now expected to begin on April 16, 2007. The Jury was seated on May 10, 2007. On August 16, 2007, Padilla, Hassoun, and Jayyousi were found guilty on all three counts January 22, 2008, .Padilla received a sentence of 17 years and 4 months, Hassoun to 15 years and 8 months, and Jayyousi to 12 years and 8 months. |
