Federal prosecutors portrayed Randy Wilson as an Islamic radical who wanted to reunite with Omar Hammami. He is an American who also grew up in Alabama but has since become one of the most well-known jihadists in Somalia. Wilson and another American who lived in Alabama for the last year, Mohammad Abdul Rahman Abukhdair, are accused of plotting to leave the country to join Islamic radicals fighting in North Africa. The two men were arrested separately about two weeks ago in Georgia. Wilson's attorney has described him as a devout Muslim who was taking his family to Mauritania to study Islam, not wage jihad.
