Appeals Court Rejects Bail For Terror Supporter

Source Article HERE.

From Mercury News (San Jose): An appeals court has refused to release on bail a San Jose man accused of aiding his terrorist brother with money and military gear because he "poses a grave danger" to his native Philippines.
Rahmat Abd Hir, 43, was arrested in August and charged with aiding his brother Zukifli (zoo-KEE-flee) Abd Hir, who is wanted in the United States because of his alleged membership in Moro Islamic Liberation Front, a secessionist group in the Philippines. Zukifli Abd Hir is also allegedly a member of Jemaah Islamiyah, an Al Qeada affiliate operating in Indonesia and Malaysia. Rahmat is charged with sending his brother $10,000 and military gear including two-way radios, some which the government charges were turned into bombs that killed five and injured 29 people in the Philippines.
