DETAINEE ORDERED DEPORTED
The Washington Post reports, "A former Boston cab driver once portrayed as a major terrorism suspect was ordered deported to Syria today after prosecutors said the government had no evidence linking the man to terrorism." Nevertheless, Nabil Almarabh had numerous associations which initially led authorities to suspect him. Almarabh "said in the early 1990s he stayed at a guest house in Pakistan that once was used by terrorists, took weapons training and initially lied to U.S. authorities about his relationship with a man later sentenced to death in Jordan for plotting to blow up a hotel filled with Americans and Israelis." Additionally, "several men who were arrested at his last known address, a Detroit apartment, last year during the manhunt were indicted last week on charges of conspiring to aid international terrorists."
