OCEAN CITY – Less than a week after an Ocean City man was indicted in a murder-for-hire plot, his lawyers this week responded, saying there is no strong evidence to support the latest charges and further denying any connection to terrorism links. In mid-May, federal officials concluded an investigation into a multimillion dollar cigarette smuggling operation with raids on two locations in and around the resort area, including the West Ocean City homes of local residents and business owners Basel Ramadan, 42, who has been called the “ringleader” of the operation, and Samer Ramadan, 40, who is being called the operation’s “enterprise treasurer.” Also indicted were 14 other alleged co-conspirators,

At a press conference in May following the raids in Ocean City and elsewhere, Kelly referenced the possible connection. “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 proSEE NEXT PAGE
