(U-WIRE) - A man who authorities think alerted some of the Sept. 11 hi jackers of the opportunity to ob tain fake IDs from Virginia plead ed innocent Monday to two counts of document fraud. Eyad M. Alrababah, 29, is eager to have a trial because he wants to make a point about what he per ceives as the government’s unfair treatment of him in its investiga tion of the attacks, said his lawyer, Frank Salvato. Alrababah, of Bridgeport, Conn., approached federal agents Sept. 29 and tol'd them he spent time with some of the hijackers in Virginia and Connecticut before the attacks, according to court records. Alrababah also admitted help ing at least 50 Arabic-speaking im migrants obtain fake IDs from the Virginia Motor Vehicles Department, according to the FBI. Alrababah told the FBI he had no idea of the hijackers’ plans. He is not charged with helping the hi jackers get the fake IDs, but court records indicate the bogus Virginia address Alrababah used for fake IDs is the same one used by some of the hijackers. Alrababah is charged with help ing a New Jersey man, Abdel Rahman Omar Tawfiq Alfauru, obtain a fake ID in July 2000. Alrababah was detained as a material witness shortly after he contacted investigators. He was arrested in November and has been detained at the Alexandria, Va.,jail since then. Seven of the hijackers obtained fake IDs from the Virginia DMV through a loophole that allowed people, by submitting sworn statements, to obtain driver’s li censes and ID cards without proof of residency or identity. That loophole closed 10 days after the attacks. Condon sues' NAACR EURO Lawsuit seeks to halt rest stop demonstrations BY JIM DAVENPORT THE ASSOCIATED PRESS COLUMBIA — South Carolina Attorney General Charlie Condon filed a lawsuit Monday against the NAACP and a white pride group over their use of state rest stops and welcome cen ters for competing demonstra tions. “We are asking the court to declare that the activities these two groups are now engaged in violates state and federal law regulating permissible activities at interstate rest stops and wel come centers,” Condon said. Condon also is asking the state court to order the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and the European-American Unity Rights Organization to pick up the costs for state police placed at visitors’ centers the past three weekends. Since the first weekend this month, the NAACP has staged “border patrol” protests at wel come centers on South Carolina’s borders to discourage motorists from spending money while trav eling through the state. It is the lat est tactic in the group’s 2-year-old boycott of the state over its dis play of the Condon Confederate flag on State House grounds. A week after the NAACP be gan the border patrols, a New Orleans-based white-rights group called EURO held what or ganizers described as “welcome patrols” in opposition to th^A NAACP protests. EURO is affili ated with former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke. Dwight James, state executive director for the NAACP, said he had not been served with court papers and would not respond to the lawsuit’s specifics. “Clearly we disagree with the attorney general,” James said. He said the NAACP maintains that “our activities are permis sible under the law and protected by the right to free speech. And we have every intention of con tinuing our activities, peaceful protests, to convey our message to those visiting South Carolina.” EURO national director Vincent Breeding said Monday his group wasn’t protesting dur^ ing its March 9 rallies. There are no plans for more events. Protests mar ballgames DURHAM, N.C. (U-WIRE) - While the Duke University bas ketball team battled Winthrop and Notre Dame inside Greenville’s Bi-Lo Center this weekend, a different battle was waged outside the arena. During two of the three NCAA Tournament sessions over the weekend, representa tives from the National Association for the Advance ment of Colored People protested to persuade South Carolina leg islators to remove the Confederate flag from the grounds of the state capitol in Columbia. “We want to remind America that economic sanc tions will continue against South Carolina because the state insists on disrespecting African-Americans and all those who cherish freedom,” Nelson Rivers, director of the NAACP’s branch and field di vision said in a statement. Before Saturday’s Duke-Notre Dame tip-off, pro-flag demon strators, who held up large^ Confederate flags and signs, waited for the NAACP, which had conducted a mile-long march to the arena earlier in the morning.
