Jewish Press
Frederick H.
Cohn, New York lawyer for Abdel Hameed Shehadeh, recently said in court
that he wants to exclude Jews from the jury that will hear Shehadeh’s
case.
Shehadeh,
24, has been charged with lying about his alleged attempt to join the
Taliban or other terrorist organization in Pakistan in 2008, and that he
attempted to conceal the fact that he had traveled to Pakistan, when he
later attempted to join the U.S. military.
According to the unsealed criminal complaint,
Shehadeh had planned to enlist with a terrorist organization when he
traveled to Pakistan on June 13, 2008, but he was denied entrance and
had to return to the United States, of which he is a citizen. Shehadeh
was questioned on numerous occasions by agents from the Federal Bureu of
Investigation and other law enforcement officials. Shehadeh claimed at
the time that his visit to Pakistan was to look into attending an
Islamic university and to attend the wedding of an acquaintance.
Several
weeks after his failed attempt to visit Pakistan, Shehadeh attempted to
join the U.S. military, but his application was denied when it was
discovered he had concealed his trip to Pakistan. PLS CONTINUE READING: http://www.jewishpress.com/news/muslim-terrorist-wannabes-jewish-lawyer-seeks-to-bar-jews-from-jury/2013/03/11/
