A federal judge denied bail on Friday to a California man arrested after US officials said he admitted to attending an Al Qaeda training camp in Pakistan.
Hamid Hayat, 23, and his Pakistan-born father, Umer, 45, of Lodi, are being held in Sacramento County Jail for lying to federal authorities. The suspects, both US citizens, were taken into custody over the weekend and are scheduled to appear in court again on June 21.
According to an FBI affidavit, Hayat told agents he attended an Al Qaeda training camp in Pakistan for six months in 2003 and 2004.
