ATLANTA -- Two young men who grew up in the Atlanta area were indicted Wednesday on further terrorism charges -- undergoing paramilitary training in northwest Georgia and plotting a "violent jihad" against civilian and government targets, including an air base in suburban Atlanta.
Syed Ahmed, a 21-year-old Georgia Tech student who was arrested in March, and Ehsanul Islam Sadequee, another U.S. citizen who grew up in Atlanta area, were previously accused of traveling to Canada last year to meet with Islamic extremists to discuss "strategic locations in the United States suitable for a terrorist strike," according to prosecutors.
In the new indictment, the men are now also accused of traveling to Washington to film possible targets, including the U.S. Capitol and the headquarters of the World Bank, and sharing them with another alleged terrorist based in Great Britain.
The indictment says the two received paramilitary training at an undisclosed location in northwest Georgia in late 2004 and early 2005, and discussed plans for various attacks, including one at Dobbins Air Reserve Base in Marietta.
U.S. Attorney David Nahmias stressed that the indictment does NOT allege that Ahmed and Sadequee "posed an imminent threat to the United States."
