Testimony continued today in Georgia’s first international terrorism case. An FBI agent testified that investigators used a ruse to question Ehsanul Sadequee in August 2005 as he got off a flight from Atlanta to New York. Sadequee was charged with aiding terrorists a year later. The agent said he and another law enforcement officer told Sadequee they wanted to talk to him about passenger complaints that he had acted suspiciously on the plane. The agent said that in fact there were no complaints, but investigators wanted biographical information from him. Sadequee’s lawyer wants evidence found during that search dismissed.
