Ex US soldier charged in plot story.news.yahoo.com U.S. Charges 6 in al-Qaida Plot Fri Oct 4, 2:22 PM ET By TED BRIDIS, Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - Six people, including a former U.S. reservist, were charged with trying to travel to Afghanistan after the Sept. 11 attacks and join forces with al-Qaida and the Taliban against the United States. Attorney General John Ashcroft announcing the arrests of four of of them at a Justice Department news conference Friday, called it a "defining day" in the fight against terrorism. He noted the sentencing in federal court later Friday of John Walker Lindh and the guilty plea in Boston from accused shoe-bomber Richard Reid. Two of the six remained free overseas. Five of them were U.S. citizens. Ashcroft said one of the men, Jeffrey Leon Battle, joined the U.S. Army Reserves to obtain training in U.S. tactics and weapons. Ashcroft said Battle, who obtained an administrative discharge in January 2002 while in Bangladesh, intended to use that experience against American soldiers in Afghanistan.
