Former Sailor Finally Named In Terror Charge

What's the complete story about Hassan Abujihaad, a convert to Islam, who was arrested in Phoenix on charges of supporting terrorism with an intent to kill U.S. citizens and transmitting classified information to unauthorized people? Also known as Paul R. Hall, Abujihaad has been tied to Babar Ahmad, a British computer specialist accused of running Web sites to raise money for terrorism. Ahmad is scheduled to be extradited to the U.S. to face trial.

A search of Ahmad's computers, revealed files containing classified information about the positions of US Navy ships and their susceptibility to attack. He had exchanged e-mails with Ahmad while on active duty on the USS Benfold, a guided-missile destroyer. In those e-mails, Abujihaad discussed naval military briefings and praised those who attacked the US Cole.

There is also a connection between this islamomaniac and Derrick Shareef who was arrested and accused of planning to use hand grenades to attack holiday shoppers at a mall.

Federal officials had previously declined to identify Hassan by name (I wonder why). There are more details to be had on this, but they will require digging because this is not a story the MSM will embrace.
