Ashcroft Indicts Lawyer

Louis Lingg writes "On April 9 U.S. Attorney General John Ascroft announced the indictment of four people for providing material support and resources to Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman and his organization, the Islamic Group. Among those indicted is New York City attorney Lynne Stewart, one of Rahman's lawyers.

Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman was convicted in 1995 for plotting the bombing of the World Trade Center in 1993.
