Testimony in Georgia terror case

Today a federal judge in Atlanta heard testimony in a Georgia terrorism case. A border protection officer testified he found personal writings against Islam in Pakistan on one of the suspects. Syed Ahmed was stopped while coming back into the U.S. at Hartsfield-Jackson Airport in Atlanta in 2005. Ahmed and co-defendant Ehsanul Sadequee are both American citizens from Atlanta. They are accused of discussing terror targets with Islamic extremists and undergoing training to carry out a "violent jihad" against American targets.
