(JTA) A British detainee in Guantanamo Bay allegedly planned to carry out terrorist attacks against Jewish targets in the U.S. Documents filed in a district court in Washington allege that Martin Mubanga, 31, a Muslim convert, was recruited to al-Qaeda while visiting Pakistan in 2000. He trained in a terrorist camp in Afghanistan before traveling to his birthplace of Zambia. After his 2002 capture by Zambian intelligence services, he was found with a list of 33 mostly New York-based Jewish organizations, and that he "stated that he received instructions to carry out violence against one, if not all, of the groups listed."
