Latest in Terrorism Trials & Investigations
Four international terrorism trials progressed in U.S. courts last week.
September was a relatively quiet month for international terrorism arrests and prosecutions, with nearly all the action occurring in New York City.
The FBI arrested and charged eight men with attempting or conspiring to provide material support to Islamic State; Hezbollah operatives were arrested for planning attacks within U.S. borders; and the Justice Department brought the first foreigner to the U.S. to face terrorism charges since Trump became president.
Judge Cooper ruled that Abu Khatallah's interviews with FBI interrogators should not be suppressed.
There is reason to believe President Trump lied before Congress in February. I sued to find out.
The people at the Justice Department's National Security Division are not the sort of people who grossly mischaracterize facts in order to make political points. I think the President lied about what Justice Department data shows about the national origin of terrorism convicts.
The FBI makes its second material support arrest of 2017, and three more ISIL-inspired defendants are sentenced.
More ISIL cases wind their way through federal district courts.
AQAP and ISIL travelers sentenced and plead guilty in New York.
