madan brothers were just extradit-
ed to New York on Wednesday
from the Worcester County Jail,
where they had been held since
last the raids and subsequent ar-
rests last week.
"They were brought from Wor-
cester County to New York yester-
day [Wednesday], more specifi-
cally to Brooklyn and they were
picked up by our officers," said
New York Attorney General's Of-
fice Press Secretary Melissa
Grace yesterday. "They've been
processed and they are expected
to appear before a judge for ar-
raignment at any time now."
Grace said the Ramadan broth-
ers remained in custody in Mary-
land from the time of last Wednes-
day's raids until this Wednesday,
but did not fight extradition, which
helped streamline the process.
"These two waived extradition,"
she said. "They are entitled under
law to fight extradition, but that
makes everything certainly more
complicated."
Eleven of the alleged co-con-
spirators have already been ar-
raigned and some were released
on relatively high bonds, depend-
ing on the extent of their alleged
involvement in the conspiracy.
Grace said she was not certain if
the judge would allow a bond for
the Ramadan brothers, but be-
cause of their alleged leadership
in the smuggling ring, it was likely
they would be remanded to the
New York Department of Correc-
tions.
"It's important to remember
these are only allegations at this
point and we have to work through
the process, but we're very confi-
dent in our position," she said. "I
don't know what our position is for
bonding out for these two, but
because they have been identified
as the leaders, I would think they
would be remanded."
Last week, there were not so
subtle references to a possible
link between the co-conspirators
and known terrorist groups, fuel-
ing speculation much of the mil-
lions of dollars in proceeds from
the illegal enterprise could be end-
ing up in the hands of terrorists,
but a firm link has not been estab-
lished. At a press conference last
week, New York Police Commis-
sioner Raymond Kelly said there
were concerns about the possible
connections.
"The association of some of the
suspects in this case to the Ari
Halbestram's killer, the Blind
Sheik and a top Hamas official
concerns us," said Kelly. "While it
hasn't been established yet where
the illicit proceeds ended up,
we're concerned because similar
schemes have been used in the
past to help fund terrorist organi-
zations like Hamas and Hez-bol-
lah."
