San Diego: Three Muslims, incl imam, charged with aiding Somali terrorists
Posted on November 4, 2010 by creeping
SAN DIEGO — One of three San Diego men accused of sending money to a Somali militia group with ties to al-Qaeda is a well-known religious leader in the City Heights community, where many Somali refugees live and work.
Mohamed Mohamed Mohamud, 38, appeared in federal court Wednesday to answer charges that he was involved in a conspiracy to provide money and other aid to al-Shabaab, which U.S. authorities describe as a foreign terrorist organization.
He and co-defendant Issa Doreh, 54, each pleaded not guilty. A third man, Basaaly Saeed Moalin, 33, pleaded not guilty to similar charges Tuesday.
All three are expected to appear at a detention hearing scheduled for Friday morning.
Prosecutors contended Wednesday that the three men should be held without bail until then because they represent a flight risk, but U. S. Magistrate Judge William Gallo said they also could be a danger to the public, based on the allegations contained in an indictment.
According to the document – filed Oct. 22 – Moalin, Mohamud and Doreh are accused of collecting and sending nearly $9,000 to al-Shabaab in 2008 to fund the group’s terrorist activities. Moalin is also accused of providing a house in Somalia that was intended to be used in a conspiracy to kill people.
San Diego’s Somali community is the second largest in the United States, behind Minnesota’s Twin Cities.
