Detroit Terrorist Cell Trial Tests Prosecution Claims
Eighteen months after a raid uncovered a conspiracy to support terrorist strikes in Jordan, Turkey, and the United States, four men face trial in Detroit. Karim Koubriti, Ahmed Hannan, Farouk Ali-Haimoud, and Abdel-Ilah Elmardoudi are charged with conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists. The indictment portrays them as a covert unit planning operations inside and outside the U.S. including potential security gaps at Detroit Metropolitan Airport. The case tests the government's ability to prove terror plots from the pre-attack phase.
