Superseding Indictment In Iraqi Case

{Bowling Green, Kentucky}...A superseding indictment was filed late Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Bowling Green against 24 year old Mohanad Shareef Hammadi, an Iraqi man facing trial on terrorism charges. The new indictment alleges he lied to gain refugee status and enter the United States. The two perjury charges were added to 10 previous charges in which prosecutors allege Hammadi tried to funnel weapons and cash to Al-Qaida operatives in Iraq. Hammadi and fellow Iraqi native Waad Ramadan Alwan were arrested in Bowling Green in May. Alwan pleaded guilty to 23 terrorism-related charges in December and is to be sentenced April 3rd. Hammadi faces a July trial.
