MIAMI AP – Statements given to the FBI by six of the seven men accused of plotting to destroy Chicago’s Sears Tower and other buildings show that some didn’t believe the talk of joining up with al-Qaida and others from the depressed Liberty City neighborhood were motivated by money rather than Islamic radicalism.
Some were clearly bewildered by what had happened to them. One of those arrested in June 2006 even asked the FBI agents interrogating him whether he could have some of the marijuana he had been carrying, according to the statements filed recently in federal court.
