SERGEANT ALI-MOHAMMED
BY A. J. WEBERMAN
The reason for all this secrecy was to not embarrass the CIA or
implicate it in aiding Islamist in their rise to power. Ali-Mohamed pleaded
guilty to five federal counts of conspiracy, which included plotting to kill U.S.
citizens, destroy U.S. facilities, and murder U.S. soldiers in Somalia and
Saudi Arabia. U.S. District Judge Leonard B. Sand first said the agreement
guaranteed a minimum of 25 years in prison, but after an objection by
defense attorneys, the judge did not specify the length of the potential
prison term. His actual sentence, nor the facility he is housed in, has yet to
be revealed. The Mubarak Egyptian government requested the extradition
of Ali-Mohamed (who El-Ahram called Mustafa) after he was sentenced to
death in absentia by an Egyptian military tribunal in a case known as "the
returnees from Albania."2 Ali-Mohamed was debriefed prior to the U.S.
invasion of Afghanistan.

following its policy through one of its agents. To prove his point, El-Sayyid
Nosair’s lawyers sent a subpoena to Ali-Mohamed to come and testify.
Despite the fact that the subpoena was sent to Ali-Mohamed, mysteriously,
Ali-Mohamed never came to testify. El-Sayyid Nosair’s cousin, Ibrahim A.
El-Gabrowny explained:
The soul and heart of the seditious conspiracy that was alleged
by the government against El-Sayyid Nosair and myself and the
rest of the defendants was the existence of the one over all
Jihad organization and the proofs of its terrorist activities. Ali-
Mohamed’s testimony was crucial to refute a major part of the
Government’s allegation, and that would substantially effect the
case for Nosair, myself and the rest of the co-defendants.

I knew one thing folks. When looked at the Appeal File this document,
which was a letter to the Judge, was gone. This is the most recent
development in this affair:
