Oussama Kassir, a Lebanese-born Swedish citizen wanted in the U.S. on
charges of plotting to set up a jihad training camp, was extradited Sept. 25
from the Czech Republic.

Kassir was arrested on Dec. 11, 2005, in Prague by Czech officials while
flying from Stockholm to Beirut. The arrest was based on a complaint
<http://www.investigativeproject.org/documents/case_docs/506.pdf>  filed in
Manhattan federal court that alleged Kassir conspired with Mustafa Kamel
Mustafa (a/k/a Abu Hamza al-Masri), Haroon Rashid Aswat, and others, to
establish a jihad training camp in Bly, Oregon. The camp was to provide
Muslims with military-style training to fight jihad or to receive further
jihad training in Afghanistan.

Al-Masri, a Muslim cleric who preached at the Finsbury Park in north London,
was sentenced by a UK court to seven years in prison in Feb. 2006 for
stirring up racial hate and inciting followers to kill non-Muslims.

Aswat, a British-born citizen of Indian descent is alleged to have
masterminded the July 7 London bombings. Aswat, believed to be an al Qaeda
operative, was arrested in Zambia in July 2005 and deported to Britain.

Both al-Masri and Aswat face extradition to the US on charges relating to
setting up the training camp and providing aid to al Qaeda. Al-Masri is
further charged with conspiracy relating to hostage taking in Yemen,
facilitating violent jihad in Afghanistan, and supplying services to the
Taliban.

According to a new indictment
<http://www.investigativeproject.org/documents/case_docs/507.pdf>  returned
by a federal grand jury in New York on Sept. 25,

Al-Masri sent Kassir and Aswat to the US in late 1999 to set up the training
camp in Oregon. In remarks
<http://www.investigativeproject.org/documents/case_docs/508.pdf>  at a news
conference announcing Kassir's extradition, Michael Garcia, U.S. Attorney
for the Southern District of New York, alleged that Kassir discussed
hijacking trucks and killing the drivers to raise money to support the camp.

Kassir and Aswat left the US after spending two months in Oregon. Kassir
allegedly complained that there were only a handful of men available to
train and he was not going to waste his time on such a small number of
individuals, a Department of Justice news release said.

The training camp was eventually abandoned.

Kassir, who is believed to have undertaken jihad training in Afghanistan,
Kashmir, and Lebanon, is also accused of setting up terrorist websites
offering bomb and poison-making tips as well as information on the use of
firearms. Kassir allegedly posted manuals such as "The Mujahideen Explosives
Handbook" and "The Mujahideen Poisons Handbook" on the websites.

An alleged bin Laden supporter, Kassir bragged to a Seattle newspaper in
Sept. 2002, "I love al Qaeda" and "I love Osama bin Laden." Kassir however
denied that during his arraignment Sept. 25 at Manhattan Federal Court.

"I have nothing to do with al Qaeda," Kassir said.

He pleaded not guilty to all counts. He repeatedly spoke out during his
arraignment, blurting out "Why does he lie?" as a federal prosecutor
discussed the case. U.S. District Judge John Keenan told Kassir to keep
quiet.

"You're in America now, in an American courtroom," the judge said. "You have
to abide by American rules."

Kassir faces life imprisonment if convicted on all counts.

"Fair Use" criteria established in Section 107 of the Copyright Act of 1976.
The principle of "Fair Use" was established as law by Section 107 of The
Copyright Act of 1976. "Fair Use" legally eliminates the need to obtain
permission or pay royalties for the use of previously copyrighted materials
if the purposes of display include "criticism, comment, news reporting,
teaching, scholarship, and research." Section 107 establishes four criteria
for determining whether the use of a work in any particular case qualifies
as a "fair use". A work used does not necessarily have to satisfy all four
criteria to qualify as an instance of "fair use". Rather, "fair use" is
determined by the overall extent to which the cited work does or does not
substantially satisfy the criteria in their totality. If you wish to use
copyrighted material for purposes of your own that go beyond 'fair use,' you
