Iraqi Nationals’ Sentencing Delayed


{Bowling Green, Kentucky}...In federal court in Bowling Green, U.S. District Judge Thomas B. Russell delayed the sentencing of Iraqi nationals 30 year old Waad Ramadan Alwan and co-defendant, 24 year old Mohanad Shareef Hammadi from December 5th to January 3rd. The two men faced charges of attempting to send a variety of weapons, including rifles, rocket propelled grenades and Stinger missile systems, along with other explosives and cash to the al-Qaida terrorist organization in Iraq. Alwan pleaded guilty in December 2011, while Hammadi bypassed a trial and entered a guilty plea in August.
