The jihadist last heard promising to violently resist any attempt to capture him was capture without a fight after making the mistake of taking a flight from Sweden to Beirut by way of Prague. Too bad for Oussama...
A Lebanese-born Swede has been charged in a plot to set up a terrorist training camp in Oregon, federal prosecutors announced Tuesday.Posted on 15 December 2005 @ 18:08 GMTA criminal complaint charging Oussama Kassir with conspiring to provide material support to terrorists was unsealed in US District Court in Manhattan, US Attorney Michael J. Garcia said.
Kassir, 39, was arrested in Prague, Czech Republic, on Sunday after a warrant was filed with Interpol, Garcia said. He remains detained in Prague as the United States pursues his extradition.
The complaint alleges that Kassir and others conspired to establish a training camp for holy war, or jihad, in Bly, Oregon. According to the complaint, Kassir and others wanted to set up the camp to teach military-style jihad methods so a community of Muslims could move to Afghanistan to fight or to be trained more there.
