Jurors in the terrorism support and conspiracy trial of Jose Padilla heard his voice on an FBI wiretap for the first time Friday.
In the July 1997 phone call, co-defendant Adham Amin Hassoun tells Padilla in English that “the most important thing is that you tell me you’re ready.” The FBI’s lead investigator in the case testified that Hassoun was talking about going to an area of Islamic holy war.
“God willing … it’s going to happen soon,” Padilla responds.
The defendants are charged with being part of a support cell.
