Ali al-Marri was convicted in Illinois of being an al-Qaida sleeper agent.
The Associated Press reports that an Air Force psychologist testified yesterday in the sentencing of Ali al-Marri, who was convicted in Illinois of being an al-Qaida sleeper agent.
Maj. Deborah Sirratt, who was in charge of medical care in the U.S. Naval Consolidated Brig in Charleston, S.C., told the court that al-Marri can be kind and respectful but would likely attack the United States if given a chance. She also said he believes infidels — i.e., non-Muslims — should be killed.
“I do feel in Mr. al-Marri’s case that it’s likely he might engage in hostile acts against the United States,” Sirratt testified.
