Judge sets classified info schedule in Ohio terrorism case


COLUMBUS (AP) — A federal judge wants details settled in about two months for handling classified information in the case of an Ohio man charged with plotting a U.S. terror attack.

The information relates to charges against Columbus resident Abdirahman Sheik Mohamud. He’s accused of receiving terrorism training on weapons, combat and tactics in Syria, then returning to the U.S. with a plan to attack a military base or a prison.

Judge James Graham today ordered prosecutors to finish its review of classified documents and file for the information to be covered by a protective order by Aug. 10.

The 23-year-old Mohamud has pleaded not guilty to charges of supporting terrorism, supporting a terrorist group and making a false statement involving international terrorism.
