US court convicts Sadequee of Bangladeshi descent on video-terrorism charge

---

A jury in Atlanta Wednesday convicted 23-year-old Ehsanul Islam Sadequee, a native of Virginia who is of Bangladeshi descent, on terrorism-related charges after deliberating for about five hours, prosecutors said, reports UNB.
Ehsanul Islam Sadequee, of the Atlanta suburb of Roswell, was found guilty on four counts of supporting terrorists and a foreign terrorist organisation after a seven-day trial, CNN reported from Georgia quoting a news release of Patrick Crosby, spokesman for the US attorney's office.
Sadequee was arrested in April 2006 in Bangladesh on charges arising out of false statements he made in an April 2005 interview with the FBI at New York's John F Kennedy International Airport, authorities said.
He was indicted in Georgia in July 2006 and brought back to Atlanta in August of that year.
In June, a federal judge convicted Sadequee's friend Syed Haris Ahmed of conspiring to provide material support to terrorism in the United States and abroad. Ahmed had been a student at Georgia Tech.
