A Muslim convert from Seattle, who served two years in prison for aiding the Taliban, has pleaded guilty to terrorism charges after violating the terms of his plea agreement. 

Earnest James Ujaama, 41, pleaded guilty in a New York federal court on August 13, 2007, to conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists and providing material support or resources to terrorists. Ujaama admitted to trying to establish a terrorist training camp in Oregon and to raising money for terrorists in Afghanistan between June 2000 and December 2001.

In 2003, prosecutors dropped these charges in exchange for a plea bargain and Ujaama was sentenced to two years in prison for conspiring to provide goods and services to the Taliban.  Under the terms of the plea agreement, Ujaama was not allowed to travel internationally during his three-year probation without written permission from the U.S. Attorney's Office in Seattle. 

However, Ujaama violated the agreement when he traveled with a fake Mexican passport to Belize, where he was arrested on December 18, 2006.  Ujamma is currently serving a two year prison sentence for violating the terms of his probation, which enabled the U.S. District court in Seattle, where the original trial took place, to revoke the 2003 plea agreement.  

Ujaama claims that he fled the U.S. because he did not want to testify against now convicted London cleric Abu Hamza al-Masri, his alleged co-conspirator.

Ujaama faces up to 30 years in prison if convicted.
