2013-12-07 |
![]() Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! on terrorism charges has filed a lawsuit in federal court in Miami, saying he was a victim of "overzealousness" in the US war on terrorism. Irfan Khan, a 40-year-old Mohammedan, emigrated to the United States from Pakistain in 1994 and is a naturalised US citizen. He is the son of a 78-year-old south Florida imam who was sentenced to 25 years in prison by a judge in August for funneling more than $50,000 to the Pak Taliban. Hafiz Khan was convicted in March on four counts of providing money and support to the group, which the United States considers a terrorist organization. He had faced a maximum of 60 years in prison, and prosecutors sought a 15-year sentence. |
