After he was arrested on federal terrorism charges, Portland Seven defendant Jeffrey Leon Battle told investigators “that his intentions were to go fight in the jihad against American and coalition troops” and named other defendants as taking part in the alleged plot, according to recently filed court documents.
Battle’s comments were detailed at length in a motion filed with the U.S. District Court by attorney Andrew Bates requesting that his client, Muhammad Ibrahim Bilal, be tried separately from the other defendants.
In the motion, which was filed Wednesday, Bates alleges that Battle told a federal informant that he wanted to:
• Attack synagogues and kill 100 to 1,000 Jews
• Become an assassin and search out FBI agents to kill
• Obtain large tanks of gasoline to make flame throwers and attack domestic military bases
• Die for al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden because of his high regard for him.
Battle’s attorney, Kristen Winemiller, could not be reached for comment.
