 BALTIMORE (AP) - Majid Khan worked the cash register at his dad's gas stations, listened to rap music and went to public high school like many other immigrants. Yet, at a red brick mosque wedged between a busy highway and middle-class cul-de-sacs, the U.S. government says, he found his way to an extreme brand of Islam.
Two trips to Pakistan to marry and visit his new wife allegedly led him to a fellow English-speaker, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Together, the government says they plotted to blow up American gas stations, poison U.S. reservoirs and kill the president of Pakistan.
The 26-year-old Khan is now jailed at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the only U.S. resident among 14 detainees the government considers its most dangerous.
