Lawyer seeks release of Seattle man in terrorism case
James Ujaama, a 36 year old Seattle activist held as a material witness in a Denver based terrorism investigation, urged by his lawyer to be released since he has not been charged with a crime. The judge said a ruling would come within 60 days as Ujaama remains in custody awaiting potential grand jury information. Federal officials note Ujaama is alleged to have provided computer equipment to al Qaida camps in Afghanistan and potentially linked to Abu Hamza al Masri.
