Terrorism suspect wants to represent himself

By The Associated Press
ATLANTA - An Atlanta area man - charged in an alleged terrorism plot along with a Dawson County man - wants to address jurors and question FBI agents himself in his trial this summer.

Ehsanul Sadequee also told U.S. District Judge Bill Duffey he wants to go on trial as soon as possible. He is charged with conspiring to provide material support to terrorists.

Sadequee and Syed Ahmed of Dawsonville are charged with trying to join a Pakistan-based military group. They also are accused of taking videos of ``symbolic and infrastructure targets for potential terrorist attacks'' during a 2005 trip to Washington. Both men pleaded not guilty. They are to be tried separately.

Duffey said he would decide whether Sadequee can, with the help of his two lawyers, represent himself at trial.
