Terrorist Defendant Pleads, CT Case Continues

A key figure in the case of a former U.S. Navy signalman accused of supplying a terrorist cell with ship movement information pleaded guilty to attempting to buy grenades and set them off in a suburban Illinois shopping mall just three days before Christmas last year.

Although the guilty plea came a time zone away in federal court in Chicago, a related proceeding before U.S. District Judge Mark R. Kravitz continued. Judge Kravitz is conducting an evidentiary hearing to determine if Assistant U.S. Attorneys Stephen Reynolds and William Nardini will be allowed to introduce evidence of other uncharged terrorist attacks during their trial of Abu-Jihaad, formerly known as Paul Hall, 31, of Phoenix.

A detailed account of the case be found on the Connecticut Post website.
