The trial for a suspected terrorist captured in Bowling Green has been set and a judge gives the green light for surveillance evidence to be used.
Mohanad Hammadi, 24, is facing charges of trying to funnel weapons and cash to Al-Qaida operatives in Iraq.
The federal judge says there is probable cause to believe Hammadi was "an agent of a foreign power" and that investigators properly gathered electronic surveillance and physical evidence on him.
Hammadi argued that the government made false or improper statements to obtain warrants.
His trial has now been scheduled for July 30th in Bowling Green.
Co-Defendant Waad Alwan, 30, pleaded guilty in December to 23 similar charges and is set for sentencing in April.
