MIAMI AP – Five years after his arrest at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport, Jose Padilla heads to court – but with no mention of the “dirty bomb” allegations that first made headlines.
Padilla and two co-defendants are accused of being part of a support cell that funneled fighters, money and supplies to Islamic extremists in Afghanistan, Chechnya, Bosnia, Tajikistan and elsewhere around the world. Jury selection was to begin Monday.
