U.S. Convicts Taliban Narco-Terrorist

I guess this Khan Mohammed can cancel any future fundraising plans for the Democrats.

Did you even know we had a guy from the Taliban on trial here in the United States?

"As an enemy of the United States, Khan Mohammed intended to ship heroin to the United States and use profits from that trade to assist the Taliban," said DEA Acting Administrator Michele M. Leonhart. "A dangerous double threat, Kahn Mohammed purchased rockets to attack American and coalition soldiers who were risking their lives to stabilize Afghanistan. The conviction of Kahn Mohammed puts an end to this source of poison and violence."

A grand jury first returned an indictment against Mohammed on Dec. 13, 2006, charging him with distributing opium and heroin, knowing that it would be imported into the United States. A superseding indictment returned on Jan. 23, 2008, also charged Mohammed with engaging in drug trafficking knowing or intending to provide something of pecuniary value to a terrorist or terrorist organization. Mohammed was brought to the United States on Nov. 5, 2007. Mohammed faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 20 years and a maximum of life in prison. A sentencing hearing is scheduled before the Honorable Colleen Kollar-Kotelly on Oct. 10, 2008.

Naturally, Reuters uses the scare quotes around the term narco-terrorism.

Should only be a matter of time until the ACLU claims he was tortured.
