Fifth Suspect Arrested in Lodi al-Qaeda Terror Probe Federal authorities have arrested a fifth suspect in connection with a widening probe of an alleged al-Qaeda terrorist cell in Lodi.
Authorities with the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed the arrest Wednesday of Mohammed Hassan Adil, 19, of Lodi on unspecified immigration violations. Adil is the son of Lodi's Farooquia Islamic Center leader Muhammed Adil Khan. Khan is one of four other men being held by federal officials for their alleged roles in a scheme to carry out terrorist attacks against U.S. targets, according to an FBI affidavit released Wednesday. Khan was arrested over the weekend along with the Lodi Mosque's religious leader Shabbir Ahmed. The two, both being held on immigration violations, came to the attention of federal agents after they allegedly met with Umer Hayat, one of two men who the FBI say were involved in a terrorist cell. Umer Hayat, 47, and his son Hamid, 22, were arrested Tuesday by FBI agents. Hamid Hayat is accused of having undergone six months of firearms and explosives training in a terrorist camp in Pakistan, and then lying to federal officials about having done so. Umer Hayat, who works as an ice cream vendor in the Lodi area, is accused of lying to federal authorities about his son's involvement with al-Qaeda and financing the activities of terrorists. The investigation into Hamid Hayat began on May 29, according to an FBI affidavit, when he flew from Pakistan to San Francisco. After the plane left South Korea, it was discovered Hayat was on the federal government's "No Fly" list. The plane was diverted to Tokyo. An FBI agent interviewed Hayat and he was moved to the "Selectee List" which allowed him to continue his trip to the U.S. After Hayat arrived in the U.S. he was interviewed Friday by the FBI at the bureau's Sacramento office. Documents allege he denied attending terrorist training camps. A lie detector test indicated deception and after two more hours of questioning, investigators say he admitted to attending a Jihadist terrorist camp run by Al Qaeda for six months from 2003-04. Hayat's father was also interviewed Friday and told agents his son was not a terrorist, according to the U.S. attorney. Investigators said he gave his son a $100 monthly allowance while the younger man was at the camp and that he paid for his son's flights. Hayat, 47, is being held for allegedly lying to federal agents about supplying money to allow his son Hamid Hayat, 22, to train in a Pakistani terrorist camp. During an FBI lie dectector test Saturday, the younger Hayat allegedly admitted to attending the Jihadist camp run by Al Qaeda for six months from 2003-04. Hayat also allegedly confessed the training with firearms and explosives was carried out with an eventual goal of committing terrorist acts within the United States, according to the FBI.
