NEW YORK (AP) — Lawyers for an Egyptian Islamic preacher extradited from Great Britain in a terrorism case said Monday that the U.S. government has imposed harsh pre-trial restrictions reserved for the most dangerous terrorism defendants.
The lawyers said special administrative measures imposed more than a week ago on Mustafa Kamel Mustafa severely limit his communications and what he can read at a federal lockup in Manhattan. He is awaiting trial on charges that he conspired with Seattle men to set up a terrorist training camp in Oregon and helped abduct two American tourists and 14 other people in Yemen in 1998. He has pleaded not guilty.
