U.S. Attorney General: The Threat is Real - and the Need for Americans to Stay Vigilant Remains Vital


(U.S. Newswire) U.S. Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales told the Council on Foreign Relations Thursday, "On November 23, the Department of Justice obtained a conviction here in New York of Uzair Paracha, who was charged with providing material support to al-Qaeda. Paracha was part of an operation to help an al-Qaeda operative obtain documents to re-enter the United States to commit what Paracha believed was a planned chemical attack on the U.S." "Earlier this year, a jury in the Eastern District of New York convicted two Yemeni citizens, Mohammed Ali Hasan Al-Moayad and Mohsen Zayed. Al-Moayad was the imam of a large mosque and Zayed was his assistant. Together they collected money through the al-Farook mosque in Brooklyn and distributed it to al-Qaeda and Hamas in order to help train, equip, and arm jihad terrorists....On the most basic level, these cases - and others - highlight both the extent of our success and the reality of the continuing threat."
