London Man Indicted on Terroism Charges

An AP newswire article, via The Boston Globe, reports that:

A London man was indicted on terrorism charges Wednesday for helping run Web sites that U.S. authorities said raised money for terrorism.

Syed Talha Ahsan was arrested at his home in London on a federal indictment in Connecticut charging him with conspiracy to support terrorists and conspiracy to kill or injure people abroad.

Ahsan is accused in the same case as Babar Ahmad, a British computer specialist who was indicted in Connecticut in October 2004. Both are accused of running several Web sites including Azzam.com, which investigators say was used to recruit members for the al-Qaida network, Afghanistan's ousted Taliban regime and Chechen rebels.

The case was brought in Connecticut because authorities say an Internet service provider here was used.
