Rafael Pierre denies the link to any violent organization. A federal agent testified this morning that Pierre is a leader in the Muslim group Al Fuqra. It's a Muslim extremist organization the A-T-F says assassinated a Muslim Imam in Tuscon and carried out the BOMBING of the World Trade center in 19-93. Pierre said Al Fuqra simply means "destitute" in Arabic, without attachment to the mortal world. Pierre was arrested last week at a Muslim compound in Charlotte County.
