Latest Indictment

New York (JTA) — Jewish
groups and politicians are
reacting with satisfaction to
the federal indictments that
have been brought against
Egyptian cleric Sheik Omar
Abdel-Rahman and Muslim
activist El Sayyid Nosair.
The indictments were
unsealed in New York fed-
eral court, charging the
blind cleric with taking part
in the Feb. 26 bombing of the
World Trade Center and a
subsequent alleged plot to
blow up the United Nations
and other targets here.
Abdel-Rahman was also
charged with conspiracy to
assassinate Egyptian Presi-
dent Hosni Mubarak.
The cleric had been
awaiting deportation on
immigration charges but is
now expected to remain in
U.S. custody.
The indictment also brings
federal charges against Mr.
Nosair in connection with
the November 1990 killing
of Rabbi Meir Kahane,
founder of the militant Jew-
ish Defense League and the
anti-Arab Kach movement.
Mr. Nosair was acquitted
of state charges of murder-
ing Rabbi Kahane in a con-
troversial jury trial that
ended in December 1991, but
he is now serving a prison
term of seven to 22 years for
assault and weapons posses-
sion in connection with the
Kahane shooting.
The new charges brought
against Mr. Nosair use the
sweeping federal RICO Act
to charge him with engaging
in a racketeering conspiracy
to murder Rabbi Kahane.
"For a long time I've talk-
ed about Sheik Rahman as
the force behind these
plots," said New York state
Assemblyman Dov Hikind of
Brooklyn, who, along with
U.S. Sen. Alfonse D'Amato,
R- N.Y., had allegedly been
targeted for assassination
earlier this year by the
sheik's followers.
"I'm happy that the
Justice Department has
finally recognized his in-
volvement," Mr. Hikind
said. "I did not want him to
be deported. I look forward
to his being tried and con-
victed on these charges."
The indictment against
the sheik brought a call for
the death sentence from Mr.
D'Amato.
"I applaud the Justice
Department's courage in
standing up to terrorists,"

Omar Abdel-Rahman:
Federal charges.

he said in a statement. "If
Sheik Rahman is found guil-
ty, he should be given the
most severe penalty possi-
ble. All terrorists who take
innocent lives deserve the
death penalty."
Six people died and 1,000
were wounded in the World
Trade Center blast.
Binyamin Kahane, son of
the murdered rabbi and di-
rector of Kahane Chai, a
movement of the rabbi's
followers, said, "The fact
that there is a deep-rooted
conspiracy involving many
people connected to the
Kahane killing is nothing
new to us. That is precisely
what we have been shouting
about for the last three
years."
Jeffrey Sinensky, director
of civil rights for the Anti-
r Defamation League, said
his agency is "gratified by
the most recent steps taken
by the government to ad-
dress the danger of Islamic
fundamentalism.
"That fundamentalism is a
danger abroad is no surprise.
But now that it has reared
its ugly head on our shores,
it underscores the need for
vigilance on the part of our
law enforcement officials,"
he said.
Sheik Abdel-Rahman
"provided instructions
regarding whether par-
ticular acts were permissible
or forbidden, served as a
mediator of disputes among
members of the organization
and undertook to protect the
organization from infiltra-
tion by law enforcement
organizations," the indict-
ment said. El
