From CNN April 8: "Prosecutors told a judge Friday that they still don't know a motive for two men charged with impersonating federal agents, whether they are connected to any foreign government or whether they received anything from the federal agents they allegedly duped.
'This
investigation is less than two weeks old, and every day it gets worse
and worse as more and more evidence comes forward, and more and more
witnesses come forward,' prosecutor Josh Rothstein told a federal judge
on Friday.
The
Justice Department is arguing that Haider Ali and Arian Taherzadeh
should stay behind bars while the investigation continues. Judge Michael
Harvey peppered prosecutors with questions, many of which they couldn't
answer.
The
hearing will continue Monday, and the two men will remain behind bars
over the weekend. Neither Taherzadeh nor Ali has entered a formal plea.
The two men spent more than two years impersonating Homeland Security agents, currying favor with federal law enforcement officers, some of whom lived in a swanky DC complex where they had apartments, and amassing a small arsenal of weapons and surveillance equipment, according to court documents."
