Terror suspect's lawyer wants evidence suppressed

The lawyer for a terrorism suspect says officials followed his client to a public library northeast Georgia and violated his privacy by making records of the Web pages and e-mail addresses that he had accessed. Syed Ahmed's attorney says the FBI’s actions at Chestatee Regional Library in Dawsonville amount to an unconstitutional search. Martin wants the evidence suppressed. Ahmed and co-defendant Ehsanul Sadequee, both U.S. citizens, are accused of undergoing training to carry out a "violent jihad" in the U.S.
