NEW YORK, April 29 (UPI) -- A New York judge has denied bail for a 19-year-old Bangladeshi-born Georgia man accused of "casing" Washington-area buildings for terror attacks.
Ehsanul Islam Sadequee is charged with lying to the FBI about a trip to the capital in April 2005 and making videos of the Capitol, Masonic Temple, World Bank and a fuel storage facility.
In a federal court bond hearing Friday, Colleen Kavanagh, an assistant U.S. attorney, said Sadequee gave co-accused Syed Haris Ahmed, 21, of Atlanta, information on how to receive military-style training in Pakistan.
Sadequee is accused of making false statements while being questioned at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport in connection with a trip he made with Ahmed to Canada in March 2005. Court documents say the two met with "like-minded Islamic extremists" in Toronto and allegedly plotted locations for possible terror attacks, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
After the trip to Canada, Sadequee flew to Bangladesh and was living there until Bangladeshi authorities took him into custody on April 17, and he was later turned over to FBI agents, who flew him to the United States on April 21.
