A Portland man accused of helping a suicide bomber in a deadly 2009 attack in Pakistan is a wastewater operator for Portland's Environmental Services bureau. Linc Mann, the agency's spokesman declined to give any more details about Reaz Qadir Khan, saying "we're just learning about this." Khan, 48, was charged in federal court on Tuesday with conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists. He has pleaded not guilty. The charge stems from a bombing of the Inter-Services Intelligence headquarters in Lahore, Pakistan, in which suicide bombers detonated explosives that killed about 30 people and injured hundreds. According to the indictment, Khan, a naturalized U.S. citizen, provided money and advice to Ali Jaleel, a suicide bomber from the Maldives who died in the Lahore attack. The indictment quotes from email exchanges between the two over a period of three and a half years, including a January 2006 note in which Jaleel reminded Khan of promises both made in the past about striving "until Allah's word is superior or until we perish." http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/...an.html#incart_river_default#incart_big-photo
Khan has worked for Portland since at least 2007, according to City Council notes, which show that in January of that year he was on the Wastewater Treatment Plant Safety Committee. He earned $63,702 in the 2012 fiscal year. :MARIS61:

Damn union workers In all seriousness, it seems like Oregon is a mini hotbed for terrorists. Or do all cities have incidents like this on a yearly basis?
