WASHINGTON--A federal grand jury has indicted the founder of the
StopAmerica.org Web site on charges of aiding al-Qaida terrorists. 

Prosecutors say Earnest James Ujaama, 36, who was born James Earnest
Thompson, conspired to create an al-Qaida boot camp in rural Oregon. 
Ujaama also helped al-Qaida with computer training and Internet
propaganda, according to the 9-page indictment released late Wednesday. 

Ujaama is a well-known Seattle activist who was arrested by the FBI last
month and was held as a material witness until charges could be filed. 
In addition to operating the StopAmerica.org &lt;<a
href="http://www.stopamerica.org/">http://www.stopamerica.org/>
 site, which quotes Ujaama as accusing the United States of "conspiracy
to commit genocide and crimes of terrorism against Muslim people," the
government says he designed a site called the Supporters of Shariah. 

"It was further a part of the conspiracy that Ujaama established one or
more World Wide Web sites (through which his co-conspirator) espoused
his beliefs concerning the need to conduct global violent jihad against
the United States of America and other Western nations," the indictment
says. 

The Supporters of Shariah &lt;<a
href="http://www.supportersofshariah.com/">http://www.supportersofshariah.com/>
 site predicts &lt;<a
href="http://www.supportersofshariah.com/Eng/aj/aj12.html">http://www.supportersofshariah.com/Eng/aj/aj12.html>
 Muslim domination rising "unchallenged over the whole of the globe" and
condemns &lt;<a
href="http://www.supportersofshariah.com/Eng/aj/aj8b.html">http://www.supportersofshariah.com/Eng/aj/aj8b.html>
 Jews as inherently corrupt.  It assails &lt;<a
href="http://www.supportersofshariah.com/Eng/aj/aj10.html">http://www.supportersofshariah.com/Eng/aj/aj10.html>
 Christianity, saying: "They are filthy scum of the earth and Allah says
about these kuffar, they are beneath the level of the cattle."

Shari'ah &lt;<a
href="http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/reference/glossary/term.SHARIAH.html">http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/reference/glossary/term.SHARIAH.html>
 is a reference to the religious laws of Islam. 

Ujaama is an American black Muslim convert who was raised in Seattle and
allegedly traveled to London in 1996 to study under a militant Muslim
cleric and al-Qaida recruiter named Sheikh Abu Hamza Al-Masri. 
Al-Masri, who lost his hands and left eye fighting in Afghanistan, is
wanted in Yemen on terrorist charges. 

After Ujaama was arrested in Denver and his brother Mustafa was briefly
detained, friends and family dismissed the idea of any ties they had
with terrorist cells operating in America.  "They've been busy for a
long time--visiting elected officials, trying to raise money for the
Central Area Youth Association, being proponents of the need to improve
employment conditions," King County Executive Ron Sims told the Seattle
Post-Intelligencer.  "Terrorists? I don't think so."

Ujaama said in a statement at the time, "My brother and I are not
terrorists, and we should not have been charged in the media and
harassed."

Ujaama is charged with providing "training, facilities, computer
services, safe houses and personnel to al-Qaida." He is also charged
with federal firearms violations. 


Also on Wednesday, another federal grand jury indicted five Denver men
on charges of operating "as a covert underground support unit for
terrorist attacks."

In a third unrelated case, a federal judge in Virginia on Wednesday
ordered the FBI to explain why the bureau had no records of alleged
Sept.  11 conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui's e-mail. 

Moussaoui, who used the <a

address, has asked that the FBI turn over any records of e-mail it
obtained by sending a subpoena to Microsoft's Hotmail service. 

Prosecutors claimed the government had obtained no e-mail from the
account, prompting U.S.  District Judge Leonie Brinkema to express
skepticism.  "Given the intense law enforcement attention focused on Mr. 
Moussaoui after Sept.  11, 2001," Brinkema wrote, "we do not understand
why an immediate and thorough investigation into the defendant's e-mail
and computer activities did not lead investigators to the <a

com">xdesertman@hotmail.com</a> account, if it existed."
