WASHINGTON (AP) — A former Army soldier accused of trying to provide support to a terrorist organization in Somalia is asking for his case to be dismissed because he says he never had any contact with the group.
A lawyer for Craig Baxam of Laurel, Md., filed a motion Monday in federal court arguing that prosecutors would need to prove that he coordinated his plans with the terrorist group al-Shabab. The attorney says prosecutors haven’t shown that Baxam communicated with the group.
