A federal judge says there's probable cause to believe an Iraqi man facing terrorism-related charged in Kentucky was "an agent of a foreign power" and that investigators properly gathered electronic surveillance and physical evidence him.



In a 19-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Thomas B. Russell turned away 24-year-old Mohanad Shareef Hammadi's arguments that the government made false or improper statements to obtain warrants under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.

A grand jury in Bowling Green charged Hammadi in May with multiple counts of providing material support to terrorists, providing resources to a terrorist organization and conspiracy to transfer surface-to-air missile launcher systems.

A co-defendant, 30-year-old Waad Ramadan Alwan, pleaded guilty in December to 23 similar charges and is set for sentencing in April.
