Iman described suspects as 'simpletons'

LODI, Calif., July 22 (UPI) -- Two men accused of lying about their involvement in Pakistani terrorist training camps may try to block the deportation of a California imam.

Attorneys for Umer Hayat and his son, Hamid, of Lodi, Calif., said the pair might file a motion to keep Muhammed Adil Khan in the United States as a material witness, the Sacramento Bee reported Friday. Adil Khan is described in FBI documents as the brains behind terrorist activities in Lodi.

Attorney Johnny Griffin III said FBI documents quote Adil Khan as describing the Hayats as "simpletons" not involved in terror camps.
