CHICAGO - Two Chicago-area cousins linked to a terrorism conspiracy last week traveled to Egypt in 2004 and planned to head to Pakistan for military training, federal prosecutors told a judge Monday.
Zubair A. Ahmed, 27, and Khaleel Ahmed, 26, were seeking ''training in Jihad,'' prosecutors said during a detention hearing on whether Khaleel Ahmed should be kept in custody as he is transferred to Ohio to face the charges.
The trip was not a vacation as the Ahmeds have maintained, Assistant U.S. Attorney Vickie Peters said.
''It was intended as the first stop of a trip that would land him on the battlefield of Iraq fighting U.S. servicemen,'' Peters told U.S. Magistrate Judge Geraldine Soat Brown.
The cousins were indicted by an Ohio grand jury last week, charged with conspiracy to murder Americans outside the U.S., including troops in Iraq. A detention hearing for Zubair Ahmed, of North Chicago, was delayed until Monday.
