Atlanta college student faces terror charge

[icymist]

ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- A Georgia Tech student has been indicted for material support of terrorism, and another Atlanta-area man has been arrested in Bangladesh in connection with the case, authorities said Thursday.

Though the U.S. Attorney's Office in Atlanta on Thursday unsealed an indictment against Syed Ahmed, 21, details remained sealed. A grand jury indicted him March 23, the same day he was arrested.

"The charge against Mr. Ahmed is serious and involves national security and will be prosecuted with that in mind," U.S. Attorney David Nahmias said in a news release.

2. Another social activist?

Sharmin Sadequee said her brother works for the Atlanta-based non-profit group, Raksha.

The organization's Web site states that Raksha, founded in 1995, "addresses social issues within our South Asian community such as family violence and divorce, as well as issues concerning children, senior citizens and new immigrants."
