Criminal case against a Rochester man accused of plotting to murder returning troops will include “classified information” that cannot be disclosed for national security purposes, court papers show.
Attorneys in the case of Mufid Elfgeeh, arrested last year, agreed this month to an order that ensures some information cannot be made public. Under the order, there may be some information that Elfgeeh’s lawyers cannot even share with him.
The order “ensures that only those with an appropriate national security clearance and a need to know may have access to the classified information that may be implicated in this case,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Brett Harvey wrote in a July 9 request for the order classifying some information in the criminal case.
The order was approved on July 9, and three documents have been filed under seal since then, records show.
Harvey said Friday that there is classified information that needed to be shared with defense lawyers, thus necessitating the order. Elfgeeh was apparently the first U.S. citizen accused of recruiting for ISIS. He was born in Yemen and is a naturalized citizen.
Prosecutors also say that he tried to buy guns and planned to kill returning military troops.
The FBI and U.S. Attorney’s Office have declined to say whether they suspect Elfgeeh was part of a recruiting network or was acting alone, motivated by the propaganda of ISIS, which has proved adept at marketing itself through social media….
