ATLANTA - A federal judge has granted a request by news organizations for access to copies of audio and video court records key to the case against a former Georgia Tech student and Dawsonville resident on trial for conspiring to aid terrorist groups.
U.S. District Judge Bill Duffey granted the request Monday, the first day of Syed Haris Ahmed's trial.
The request included access to about 12 hours of an audiotaped FBI interview with Ahmed and videos that prosecutors say he and another suspect filmed of potential terrorist targets in Washington, D.C.
The news organizations requesting access were The Associated Press, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, CNN and WSB-TV.
