ATLANTA - The trial of a 23-year-old man charged with aiding terror groups is expected to continue as the suspect calls family members to take the witness stand in his defense.

Ehsanul Islam Sadequee is charged with sending homemade videos of Washington landmarks to overseas terrorists. Prosecutors also say he journeyed to Bangladesh to pursue ``violent jihad.''

Sadequee a U.S. citizen with ties to Atlanta is representing himself. He told the court last week that his online chatter about joining a jihad was just ``empty talk.''

He faces up to 60 years in prison.
