Ohio Man Charged with Helping Al-Qaeda
[CNN] Kevin Bohn - Christopher Paul, 43, was charged Wednesday with providing material support to al-Qaeda and plotting to set off bombs in Europe at tourist resorts where Americans stayed, as well as in the U.S., according to a federal indictment unsealed in Columbus, Ohio. Prosecutors allege Paul traveled to Afghanistan and trained at an al-Qaeda camp. "The indictment of Christopher Paul paints a disturbing picture of an American who traveled overseas to train as a violent jihadist, joined the ranks of al-Qaeda, and provided military instruction and support to radical cohorts both here and abroad," said Assistant Attorney General Ken Wainstein.
