Former Baltimore County resident Majid Khan, making his first appearance before a military commission in four years, is expected to agree Wednesday to a new plea deal on charges he plotted with senior al-Qaida leaders in Pakistan and helped the group carry out a deadly hotel bombing in Indonesia.

It was night, and Mahmood Khan's family was asleep when the Maryland man opened the Senate torture report. As he read through the pages, he learned what the CIA had done to his little brother Majid during the three years his family had thought he was dead.

At least seven Marylanders have been charged with terrorism-related crimes in recent years

The federal charges filed this week against a Harford County man accused of pledging allegiance to the self-declared Islamic State come as rising fears of terrorism — and growing anti-Muslim rhetoric — have returned to dominate public discussion.

A family friend who fought Soviet forces in Afghanistan started an Owings Mills High School graduate on a journey that would take him to Pakistan to work with senior leaders of al-Qaida and then to Guantanamo Bay, where he eventually promised to cooperate with the United States against his former comrades.

Court documents and statements by his family and others provide details of Majid Khan's journey from Baltimore County to Camp 7 at Guantanamo Bay, a detention center so secret that its location within the base is classified.

A former Baltimore County man pleaded guilty Wednesday to murder and conspiracy in plots to kill former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf and bomb a hotel in Indonesia.

U.S. should no longer tolerate double dealing by its supposed ally, Pakistan

But papers show Owings Mills graduate Majid Khan denies al-Qaida ties.
