Doctors Treating Terrorists Can Be Prosecuted - US Judge Associated Press (excerpt) ^ \| January 30, 2007 nasdaq.com\ACQDJON200701301722DOWJONESDJONLINE000920.htm& Excerpt - NEW YORK (AP)--Doctors who volunteer to treat the wounds of terrorists under a terrorist organization's direction can be prosecuted under U.S. terrorism laws, a judge said Tuesday. Dr. Rafiq Abdus Sabir is accused of agreeing to treat al-Qaida members, but he has claimed it is unconstitutional to prosecute a doctor for providing medical services. Sabir was arrested in 2005, accused with three others in a plot to assist terrorist organizations from 2003 to 2005. He has pleaded not guilty to conspiring to provide material support or resources to a terrorist organization and has remained jailed since his arrest. U.S. District Judge Loretta A. Preska said "any reasonable doctor" would know from the plain language of U.S. law that pledging to provide medical support to wounded terrorists under the control and direction of al-Qaida would be a form of outlawed "expert advice or assistance." ~ snip ~ (Excerpt) Read more at nasdaq.com ....
