TE FORM OBO-241 APR. 92

Investigation has shown that Nidal Abderrahman AYYAD was part of a JIHAD organization in the United States. According to'the report of investigation, this JIHAD organization was an international group "opposed to nations, governments, institutions and individuals that did not share the groups particular radical interpretation of Islamic law." On October 1, 1995, members of this group were convicted in United States District Court for the Southern District of New York of various counts pertaining to a conspiracy to commit violent acts against both persons and structures located in the United States. Nidal Abderrahman AYYAD was named in the indictment, number S5 93 CR 181 (MBM), as an unindicted co-conspirator. A review of federal indictment S5 93 Cr. 180 (KTD) and the judgement in the above referenced federal criminal case, S5 93 Cr.00180-02(KTD) as well as indictment S5 93 Cr. 181 (MBM), all from the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, indicates that it is well established that Nidal Abderrahman AYYAD's actions were antithetical to the interests of the United States, both before and after his naturalization. Based on the material contained in the conviction, in the indictments and in the investigative report, there appears to be more than ample evidence supporting civil action to denaturalize Nidal Abderrahman AYYAD pursuant to section 340 (a) (2) and/or sections 340 (c) and 313 (3) of the INA. I have read the District Counsel's opinion and I strongly concur with it. After reviewing the appended material, including the written opinion of the District Counsel, please forward your recommendation to my attention.

The property damage was believed to be in excess of $590 million dollars.
