FBI: Texas man called al-Qaida his ‘brothers’

HOUSTON — Court documents say a Texas man accused of trying to help al-Qaida referred to members of the terrorist group as his “brothers” and wanted to die fighting alongside them.

Barry Walter Bujol was set to be in court Tuesday for arraignment on charges he tried to help al-Qaida by trying to supply the terrorist organization with personnel, currency and other items.

He was arrested last week after a two-year investigation by the FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force.

A recently unsealed application for a search warrant in the case describes Bujol as a person who used at least 14 e-mail addresses to hide his activities from authorities and advocated attacking U.S. facilities where military weapons were manufactured.

A message was left with his attorney seeking comment.
