A US court in Chicago has indicted a Pakistani-origin taxi driver, with suspected links to HuJI chief Ilyas Kashmiri, on charges of knowingly attempting to aid the Al-Qaida. The FBI, which arrested Raja Lahrasib Khan on March 26, has accused the cabbie of attempting to provide material support and funds to al-Qaeda via Pakistan based terrorist Kashmiri. Khan, who claims to have known Al-Qaeda-linked Harkat-ul-Jihad-al-Islami chief for 15 years, is being held at the federal lock-up Metropolitan Correctional Centre where 26/11 plotter David Coleman Headley and co-accused Pakistani-Canadian Tahawwur Rana are also detained.
