Sentencing For Iraqi National Delayed

{Bowling Green, Kentucky}...U.S. District Judge Thomas B. Russell has delayed the sentencing of 30 year old Waad Ramadan Alwan from October 2nd to December 5th in federal court in Bowling Green. Alwan pleaded guilty in December 2011. The new date puts sentencing at the same time as Alwan's co-defendant, 24 year old Mohanad Shareef Hammadi, who bypassed a trial and entered a guilty plea in August. The two men faced charges of trying to send weapons, including rifles, rocket propelled grenades and Stinger missile systems, along with other explosives and cash to the al-Qaida terrorist organization in Iraq.
