(Journal Inquirer) The two federal agents who interviewed a Manchester auto mechanic in June 2015 about his involvement with an Islamic charity and the packages he regularly mailed to Pakistan didn’t record the interview electronically.
The mechanic, Fareed Ahmed Khan, who is in his early 60s and has lived on Hudson Street, went on trial Monday in U.S. District Court in New Haven, facing a charge of making false statements to the federal government.
Khan’s lead lawyer, Faisal Gill of Washington, D.C., began raising questions about the accuracy of the agents’ claims as to what Khan said during the interview while cross examining one of them Monday afternoon. His questioning of the witness, Air Marshal Thomas Gannon, was to continue this morning.
