Jury selection to resume for man accused of planning attack
Updated:
Jury selection is set to resume Wednesday at the trial of an Arizona man charged with supporting the Islamic State terrorist group and helping to plan an attack last year at a Prophet Muhammad cartoon contest in Texas.
Tuesday marked the first day of jury selection in Phoenix for 44-year-old Abdul Malik Abdul Kareem. About 100 people remain in the jury pool.
Kareem is accused of providing the guns used in the May 3 attack. Authorities say Kareem and the two men who carried out the Texas attack also researched travel to the Middle East so they could join Islamic State fighters.
The other two men died in a shootout with police before hurting anyone attending the event in suburban Dallas.
Kareem denies the allegations.
