The lawyer for a Porterville man accused of conspiring with a terrorist group described his client Tuesday as a student with plans to transfer to Fresno State and become a civil engineer. "He doesn't even have a criminal record," said Peter Jones, who appeared with defendant Elias Shamsaldeen, 21, in court. Shamsaldeen was arrested by federal agents recently along with two alleged co-conspirators, Bisaam Ghafoor, 21, of Leawood, Kansas, and Bereen Dzayee, 25, of Lakeside.
