APR. 92
Investigation has shown that Nidal Abderrahman AYYAD was part of a
JIHAD organization in the United States. According to'the report of
investigation, this JIHAD organization was an international group
"opposed to nations, governments, institutions and individuals that
did not share the groups particular radical interpretation of Islamic
law." On October 1, 1995, members of this group were convicted in
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York of
various counts pertaining to a conspiracy to commit violent acts
against both persons and structures located in the United States.
Nidal Abderrahman AYYAD was named in the indictment, number S5 93 CR
181 (MBM), as an unindicted co-conspirator.
A review of federal indictment S5 93 Cr. 180 (KTD) and the judgement
in the above referenced federal criminal case, S5 93 Cr.00180-02(KTD)
as well as indictment S5 93 Cr. 181 (MBM), all from the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York, indicates that
it is well established that Nidal Abderrahman AYYAD's actions were
antithetical to the interests of the United States, both before and
after his naturalization. Based on the material contained in the
conviction, in the indictments and in the investigative report, there
appears to be more than ample evidence supporting civil action to
denaturalize Nidal Abderrahman AYYAD pursuant to section 340 (a) (2)
and/or sections 340 (c) and 313 (3) of the INA.
I have read the District Counsel's opinion and I strongly concur with
it. After reviewing the appended material, including the written
opinion of the District Counsel, please forward your recommendation to
my attention.
