A federal trial is underway this week for an Uzbek refugee charged with supporting a terrorist organization. Fazliddin Kurbanov, a Russian-speaking Muslim truck driver who fled Uzbekistan in 2009, was arrested in 2013 by federal authorities who said he was teaching people to build bombs to target public transportation and other targets in the USA. Prosecutors say Kurbanov traveled the West assisting a militant group in his native Uzbekistan, a Central Asian country that has a southern border with Afghanistan.
The 32-year-old, who lives in Boise, has pleaded not guilty to the five terrorism-related charges…. Prosecutors have charged Kurbanov with committing felonies in Idaho and Utah, saying he conspired with others to provide resources, including computer software and money, to the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan. The U.S. has identified the IMU as a terrorist organization. Kurbanov has denied all of the allegations. In a trial brief filed by the defense late last month, his attorneys wrote, “Mr. Kurbanov never agreed or attempted to provide material support to the IMU or to terrorists as alleged (by providing personnel, money or software); nor did he possess an unregistered destructive device.”… They also raised concerns that potential jurors could be influenced by racial or ethnic prejudice because the case involves evidence regarding Islamic extremism and radical political sentiment. What race or ethnicity is jihad mass murder again? I keep forgetting. ----------------------------- SOURCE;
