On April 9, 2002, four US Citizens, including an attorney and a translator for blind cleric Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, were indicted for providing material support and resources to a radical Egyptian group. Rahman is serving a life sentence for planning to blow up five New York landmarks in the 1990s, including the 1993 plot to blow up the World Trade Center. The indictment charged that the unlawful communications with Abdel-Rahman occurred during prison visits and telephone calls involving Lynne Stewart, who was one of Abdel-Rahman's lawyers. Furthermore, the indictment included Ahmed Sattar, a paralegal for the sheikh, Yassir Al-Sirri and Mohammed Yousry, who is an Arabic translator.
