Warrants In Iraqi Case Released

Search warrants approved last May and obtained by The Associated Press Tuesday as a public record provide details of recorded conversations between Iraqi refugees 24 year old Mohanad Shareef Hammadi, 30 year old Waad Ramadan Alwan and a confidential informant from late 2009 through early summer 2011 in Bowling Green. During multiple conversations in 2010 and 2011, FBI Special Agent Richard Glenn says Alwan discussed planting roadside bombs he used in Iraq between 2003 and 2006 to destroy American vehicles and talked about losing fellow insurgents when the devices malfunctioned. Hammadi faces 12 charges, including perjury and attempting to send material support to Al-Qaida. His trial is scheduled for July 30th. Alwan pleaded guilty to 23 terrorism-related charges and is to be sentenced October 2nd.
