Indianapolis, IN – American-born Taliban fighter John Walker Lindh could soon have more Muslim inmates join in a lawsuit to try to force the Bureau of Prisons to allow daily group prayers in a highly restricted cell block at the federal prison in Terre Haute.
A federal judge in Indianapolis on Monday gave the American Civil Liberties Union until Jan. 17 to file more documents seeking to add two plaintiffs in the case.
They are 34-year-old Ali Asad Chandia, who was convicted in Virginia as part of a group that used paintball games to train for a jihad, and 62-year-old Rafil Dhafir of Syracuse, N.Y., who was convicted of using his charity to launder money and violate U.S. sanctions against Iraq.
Forty-three-year-old convicted bank robber Brian Carr already has joined the suit.
