But US-born Muslim convert Eva Hatley testified in Manhattan federal court Tuesday that after the “carloads’’ of fellow Muslims she met through her mosque arrived at the 160-acre ranch in Bly in 1999, the couple watched helplessly as their home was turned into an al Qaeda training camp. “It wasn’t anything like I envisioned for the property,” insisted Hatley, testifying at the trial of one-eyed, hook-handed hate preacher Abu Hamza al-Masri.

New Developments In The Ujaama Case - Google Groups As reported yesterday in Seattle's news media, there has been a new arrest associated with the Ujaama case. Abdul Raheem Al Arshad Ali,
31, AKA Andre Anderson, was arrested on Tuesday and appeared in court  on Wednesday. Ali is accused of obtaining a gun for Semi Osmon -- an  associate of James Ujaama -- who was charged with and pleaded to illegal  possession of a firearm. Ali, a U.S. citizen, ostensibly bought a .40
caliber gun for Osmon in 1999. Osmon and Ujaama are said to have been  associated with each other through their involvement in a now closed  Seattle Mosque and an alleged attempt to develop a Bly, Oregon ranch  into a terrorist training camp. It's quite likely that Ali was  arrested resulting from information provided to federal authorities  by Osmon subsequent to his plea agreement with prosecutors.
