The NEFA Foundation has released the expert witness report and PowerPoint slideshow presented by NEFA Senior Investigator Evan Kohlmann during the recent trial of Swedish national Oussama Kassir in federal court in New York. On May 12, 2009, Kassir was convicted on all eleven counts he faced, including conspiracy to provide material support to Al-Qaida and conspiracy to kill or maim persons overseas. Kassir allegedly served a key role in the notorious online jihad media organization known as the "Islamic Media Center" (IMC). In 2003, the IMC published detailed instructions for how to set up underground terrorist training camps in Western countries--instructions which were attributed to "Abu Khadija", a known alias of Kassir.
