HOUSTON — A Texas man who pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges that he tried to help al-Qaida referred to members of the terrorist group as his "brothers," was eager to prove his dedication to the organization and wanted to die fighting alongside them, according to court documents.
Barry Walter Bujol was arraigned Tuesday on charges he tried to supply al-Qaida with personnel, currency and other items. He was arrested last week after a two-year investigation by the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Frances Stacy ordered Bujol be held without bond until his trial, to be held sometime before the end of summer.
