Lawyer Accused of Plotting With Sheik
(Reuters/ Washington Post) Gail Appleson - New York criminal defense lawyer Lynne Stewart was part of a plot to help her militant Muslim client smuggle messages out of prison calling for a return to violence in Egypt and the killing of Jews wherever they are, a federal prosecutor said Wednesday. Stewart is charged with helping pass messages from Rifai Ahmed Taha, a militant Islamic Group leader, to radical Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, serving a life sentence for conspiring to attack U.S. targets including the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center.
