2003-12-15 LATEST DEVELOPMENTS IN MOHAMMED WARSAME CASE.
Mohammed A. Warsame, the Minneapolis man arrested last week as a material witness with possible ties to Zacarias Moussaoui, may be compelled to testify before a federal grand jury in New York, The Washington Post reports. The Post quotes one official as saying that Warsame does not appear to be "a crucial part of understanding the case or Moussaoui's involvement in it" but that he is under investigation in his own right. The case has been conducted entirely in secret, and U.S. Attorney Tom Heffelfinger in Minneapolis has said he will seek to prosecute law enforcement officials who provided Warsame's name to the media. Meanwhile, The (Minneapolis) Star Tribune reports that friends and family of Mohammed Abdullah Warsame are shocked over his arrest as a material witness, and are skeptical of the government's actions.
