-includes info from Kadir’s computers
Information from two computers seized from the home of Guyanese Abdul Kadir and other documentation are among the evidence the prosecution will present when the conspiracy to blow up the JFK International Airport case starts.
The prosecution has made a number of documents and taped conversations available to the defence lawyers so they can review them before the commencement of the trial.
Abdul Kadir
Kadir, a former PNC parliamentarian; former JFK worker Russell Defreitas, a Guyanese-born US citizen; Kareem Ibrahim, an imam from Trinidad and Guyanese Abdel Nur have been charged with conspiring to blow up JFK airport, tanks storing aviation fuel and underground fuel pipelines in 2007.
According to letters of discovery made available to the lawyers of the defendants by the government, information from some 54 taped conversations between May 7 and June 1, 2007 involving the defendants, co-conspirators and others are going to be used in the trial. Copies of the tapes were handed over to the lawyers earlier this week.
Also handed over to the lawyers was a 2003 interview Defreitas had with a Guyanese reporter along with various arrest documents including pedigree information, photographs, fingerprints and arrest warrants for Kadir, Ibrahim and Nur.
“Additionally, we have received information from the government of Trinidad regarding statements made by defendants Abdul Kadir, Kareem Ibrahim and Abdel Nur in Trinidad…” US State Attorney Benton J. Campbell said in a letter to the defendants’ attorneys.
Compact discs (CDs) containing copies of the video recordings made by Russell Defreitas in January 2007 were handed over as well as a DVD with video surveillance of Defreitas taken on February 28, 2007. Copies of surveillance photographs taken of the defendants in Trinidad in December 2007 and of Defreitas taken in the US were also among the pile of evidence handed over.
In relation to Kadir, Campbell said that copies of search warrants for the former parliamentarian’s home in Linden, a search warrant for the two computers, a warrant for his arrest and inventories and photographs of items sized from his person during his arrest in Trinidad were provided to his lawyer.
Kadir’s lawyer, Kafahni Nkrumah, was told that electronic copy of the computer evidence will be made available to him shortly and he was invited to review the seized computers in person. All of the items seized from Kadir’s home and from his person were also made available for his lawyer to review.
Kadir and Ibrahim were arrested in Trinidad, while Defreitas was held in New York. Nur later handed himself over to law enforcement officers in Trinidad.
Kadir was arrested in July 2007. He had transited Trinidad and was already on his way to Venezuela when the plane was ordered to turn back and he was arrested. The charge was read to him in the Port of Spain Magistrate’s Court.
One of the man’s daughters had said her father had been on his way to Iran where he had been invited to attend an Islamic conference when he was arrested. She had said that Kadir had left Guyana on the morning of the very day he was arrested and he had been scheduled to travel to Venezuela to pick up his Iranian visa before proceeding to Iran.
The prosecution has since indicated that it plans to use evidence provided through taped conversations from way back in December 2006 in the case. Transcripts of some 43 conversations taped between December 2006 and June 2007 have been handed over to the four lawyers for the defence. The conversations were consensually taped.
The four are set to appear in court again for a status report on July 18 before Judge Dora L Irizarry.
This man should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law if found guilty. We will not allow the name of our beloved country to be sullied by stupidity.
This so-called war on terrorism iniated by bush is a sham.
Biswattie, what do you mean by “We will not allow the name of our beloved country to be sullied by stupidity.” Are you for real? How can you BISWATTIE control how others think and behave. Furthermore, the government has taken the crown for the irreparable damage to the country already!!!

YOU SEEMS NOT TO MISS ANYTHING AT ALL
Should he “be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law if found guilty” before he is found guily or after-LOL. How could you prosecute him after he is found guilty? Your comment make no sense.

i agree with you biswattie pure stupidity..
Lambada you mean first time you agree with Biswattie.
Now, what was the theme of Graham Greene’s “Our Man in Havana”?
Since the breaking of the news in this matter I cannot get the question out of my head whether Abdul Kadir was attempting to obtain financing from Iran for political purposes in Guyana and his alleged involvement was a test of loyalty to the muslim cause. I know the PNC is in terrible financial straights and I wonder if other members names are being mentioned.
Storme,if these men are indeed guilty, then it was all about the MONEY. This has nothing to do with PNC: the press is using that in a deliberate attempt to focus on politics.
*Storme how does blowing up JFK have anything to do with Guyana and politics.
*If these men were in cahoots with the Iranians/muslims to finance the PNC back in power, it would have happened.
It is all about the money!!!!!!
What a sham.
awww amen ra so we agree on this is a total sham….but is de ppp fault according to biswattie…nail bore meh foot is ppp falt..2much rain fall an flood de place is ppp falt..
but all dis will soon be done wid and fixed according to CACK EYE BRANDAN SAMAROO COZ RAMJATTAN WILL BE NEX PRESIDENT OF GUYANA.stay tuned folks….

Did the F. B. I. have this type of access to Roger Khan’s personal effects? I wonder if not why not. It’s now the burden of the prosecution to show that only Khadir had access to the computers in his home. Could the F.B.I. have planted incriminating information on the computers in Khadir’s home over the internet. They were monitoring him for some time. Did the F.B.I. informant ever use the computers? After all he was in Guyana to meet Khadir and even might have stayed at his home. Many questions and few answers.
I noticed the same judge as Roger Khan will be adjudicating. What a coincidence.
storme William you take the PNC for the PPP listen for names in Roger Khan saga.
….slo fyah,,, but always mo fyah ! de tools of misguided malcontents !
McCartyism redux in d hell hole amurikkka, only this time the tentacles are long and far reaching. Better ask the USA citizen of spanish decent and former gang member what torture is.
Come on GUYANA>>>wake up and smell da coffee
PROTOCOL No. 7
1. The intensification of armaments, the increase of police forces – are all essential for the completion of the aforementioned plans. What we have to get at is that there should be in all the States of the world, besides ourselves, only the masses of the proletariat, a few millionaires devoted to our interests, police and soldiers.
2. Throughout all Europe, and by means of relations with Europe, in other continents also, we must create ferments, discords and hostility. Therein we gain a double advantage. In the first place we keep in check all countries, for they will know that we have the power whenever we like to create disorders or to restore order. All these countries are accustomed to see in us an indispensable force of coercion. In the second place, by our intrigues we shall tangle up all the threads which we have stretched into the cabinets of all States by means of the political, by economic treaties, or loan obligations. In order to succeed in this we must use great cunning and penetration during negotiations and agreements, but, as regards what is called the “official language,” we shall keep to the opposite tactics and assume the mask of honesty and complacency. In this way the peoples and governments of the GOYIM, whom we have taught to look only at the outside whatever we present to their notice, will still continue to accept us as the benefactors and saviours of the human race.
UNIVERSAL WAR
3. We must be in a position to respond to every act of opposition by war with the neighbors of that country which dares to oppose us: but if these neighbors should also venture to stand collectively together against us, then we must offer resistance by a universal war.
4. The principal factor of success in the political is the secrecy of its undertakings: the word should not agree with the deeds of the diplomat.
“Keep it “LIT”
dat is d Pinnacle fyahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhkey
I am going to reserve judgement until we get a chance to see the evidence the US govt will be presenting. Strange but De Freitas’s neighbor said, when contacted by the news that he didn’t think he was smart enough to plan something like this, and it was alleged by the US that he was one of the ringleaders.
The one peculiar curiousity so far is that alleged Iranian link, and Kadir getting ready to travel there. I will want to hear some more details on that.
So far, I am very skeptical, this plot being allegedy hatched during Bush’s trigger-happy, knee-jerking, anti-terrorism period. I would be a fool not to be skeptical at this point.
We’ll see…
yes gap i agree
The person they were trying to flush out did not take the bait.
Thanks to Bush, America is safe and all of you who think otherwise should leave America.
Why should we leave America if we think Bush is an idiot? Why, because Bush is America?
Bush is an idiot, and stop paroting the idiot’s line.
