A federal grand jury has indicted the founder of the StopAmerica.org Web site on charges of aiding al-Qaida terrorists.
Prosecutors say Earnest James Ujaama, 36, who was born James Earnest Thompson, conspired to create an al-Qaida boot camp in rural Oregon. Ujaama also helped al-Qaida with computer training and Internet propaganda, according to the 9-page indictment released late Wednesday.
Ujaama is a well-known Seattle activist who was arrested by the FBI last month and was held as a material witness until charges could be filed. In addition to operating the StopAmerica.org site, which quotes Ujaama as accusing the United States of "conspiracy to commit genocide and crimes of terrorism against Muslim people," the government says he designed a site called the Supporters of Shariah.
"It was further a part of the conspiracy that Ujaama established one or more World Wide Web sites (through which his co-conspirator) espoused his beliefs concerning the need to conduct global violent jihad against the United States of America and other Western nations," the indictment says.
