[1] Mark Robert Walker [2] update. No mention here that he is a Muslim or may have been motivated by the jihad ideology, although it is pretty clear from his actions. "Man sentenced for aiding terror group," from the [3] Rochester Democrat & Chronicle, :

(April 29, 2005) — A 19-year-old with Irondequoit ties was sentenced to two years in prison Thursday for aiding a terrorist organization.

Mark Robert Walker, whose family moved to Irondequoit from Washington state in June, pleaded guilty to "attempting to make a contribution of goods and services to a specially designated terrorist organization."

The plea came in federal court in El Paso, Texas, where Walker, who had been a college student in Laramie, Wyo., was detained Nov. 6 at the Mexican border. Prosecutors determined Walker, who also used the name "Abduallah," was an administrator of an Islamic Web site that supported the terrorist group Al-Ittihad Al-Isiami.

The group was placed on the list of specially designated global terrorist organizations on Sept. 24, 2001, by President Bush.
