Chicago man arraigned in Toledo on charges of conspiring against U.S. military

A Chicago man accused of conspiring to "kill, kidnap, or maim" U.S. troops and others in Iraq, was arraigned in U.S. District Court in Toledo this afternoon.

Khaleel Ahmed, 26, pleaded not guilty to the charge before Judge James Carr. He is one of four men — including two from the Toledo area — who were indicted in February in connection with the government’s probe into a Toledo-based plot to kill or injure U.S. troops overseas.

He faces up to life in prison.

The indictment alleges that Mr. Ahmed, and his cousin, Zubair A. Ahmed, 27, of North Chicago, sought out training in sniper tactics, firearms, and counter surveillance techniques and that they attempted to travel to Afghanistan or Iraq.

Ashraf Zaim, the owner of a now-closed West Toledo travel agency, pleaded not guilty in late February to conspiracy, theft of public funds, making false statements, and wire fraud — charges that were unsealed last month in a federal indictment.

Mr. Zaim, 39, of 2515 Manchester Blvd., and Marwan Othman El-Hindi, 43, are accused in the indictment of conspiring to defraud the government of $40,000 in federal grant money intended to be used on clinics for low-income taxpayers in Ohio and Michigan.

Indicted a year ago with two other Toledo area men in the alleged terrorist plot, Mr. El-Hindi also was charged in February with additional terror-related offenses in a separate, superseding indictment.
