CNN.com – Trial begins for alleged terrorist financiers – Jan 28, 2005

You just have to wonder how some lawyers can face themselves in the mirror. The lawyers comments about his client being entrapped do a fine job of describing a standard ‘sting’ operation… which is where his clients were taped bragging about their misdeeds. Meh.

NEW YORK (CNN) — A federal prosecutor said Friday that a Yemeni sheik and his assistant were intent on providing millions of dollars to al Qaeda and Hamas while a defense attorney accused the government of entrapment in his opening statement.

Sheik Mohammed Ali Hasan al-Moayad, 56, and Mohammed Mohsen Yahya Zayed, 31, are charged with conspiracy to provide support to al Qaeda and Hamas, which have been designated terrorist organizations by the U.S. State Department.
