"lackawanna five"

· 🌡️ 54°F

I just got back from a screening at hallwalls. A filmmaker named Lynn Hershman is making a movie about Steve and his case. Somebody brought up the lackawanna five and that made me wonder. Who were the Lackawanna five? What exactly were they charged with? What was the evidence against them? When were they arrested? What was their economic stance and so on....

    All you need to know is they were terrorists. They have been taken care of. NO need to worry.

    Some one I know as a temp Had a boyfriend with the same last name and lived in the same area as them and had A nice expensive car, we thought they may have been connected but no proff. Suposidly they where a non active sleeper support cell. Meaning they basicly did nothing active they suported other terrorists or maybe passed information. At some point they may have become active but you can't arreset people for future crimes they may commit. That is unless you have proff of planning and catch them in part of the planing stage.

    It was the "Lackawanna 6", not the "Lackawanna 5". They were charged with joining a known terrorist organization- the Al Quada, and I know for a fact that two of them were definitely there during the time that they were accused of being there. They sent money to and helped to support this group, not just them but many that weren't named. And I went to school with them. Yasin, one of the accused, is married to a girl that I was on the cheerleading squad with and worked with. I went to their son's first birthday. Whether he went there just to "check it out" and left because he got spooked, as they claim, or if they were part of the training, I don't know.
