SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico (AP) - A Muslim cleric suspected in an alleged plot to blow up New York's John F. Kennedy Airport has been hospitalized in Trinidad after suffering a mental breakdown, his lawyer said Monday.
Kareem Ibrahim has wept, rambled incoherently and often appeared agitated in recent meetings, said defense attorney Farid Scoon, who is trying to block his client's extradition to the United States.
"He has been delusional, paranoid, with changes of personality," Scoon told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. "It's not like you're speaking to somebody who's absolutely out of it, but if you sit long enough with him, you see he's not with it."
