NEW YORK (AP) - A British citizen believed to be tied to the July 7
bombings in London denies he tried to set up a terrorist training camp
in Oregon, his lawyer says.

Haroon Rashid Aswat, according to federal prosecutors, conspired to
provide material support to terrorism in the United States beginning
in 1999.

Aswat, 30, appeared Monday before a judge in London, where he was
ordered to remain until Thursday pending an extradition request from
U.S. authorities.

The complaint against Aswat, filed under seal June 20, closely tracks
the indictments of James Ujaama, a Seattle man who the government said
first identified property in Bly, Ore., and Muslim cleric Abu Hamza
al-Masri, who faces charges that include his role in the alleged camp
scheme.

1. So much for that "MI-6 is hiding Aswat" story, I guess.

Edit:

This story originated at globalresearch.ca. I'd be interested to hear what they have to say for themselves now.
