Back in the United States, the Justice Department has charged three Ohio men with conspiracy to kill US troops in Iraq and other countries. The three — Mohammad Zaki Amawi, Wassim I. Mazloum, and Marwan Othman El-Hindi — are originally from Jordan and Lebanon. Amawi is also charged with making threats to kill President Bush. They each pled not guilty Tuesday. El-Hindi’s attorney, Steve Hartman, said: “It doesn’t help that he’s Jordanian. I think he’s caught up in the Justice Department’s vigorous work.”
