Federal prosecutors say the man who was convicted of setting off a bomb in Manhattan that injured 30 people last year has been attempting to radicalize fellow jail inmates.
The New York Times reports that the government says Ahmad Khan Rahimi gave other inmates access to speeches by Osama bin Laden and Anwar al-Awlaki and materials including bomb-making instructions.
The allegations came in a letter Friday from the office of Acting U.S. Attorney Joon Kim to Judge Richard Berman.
Berman is to sentence Rahimi on Jan. 18 after a jury convicted him in October of all the charges against him.
Prosecutors say the inmates Rahimi shared the materials with included Sajmir Alimehmeti, a Bronx man who has been charged with providing material support to the Islamic State.

Solitary confinement! They put Pollard there because they said he was a threat! Big threat he was!
yapchik you are so right!!! but I highly doubt it!! it’s racism to treat arabs harshly!! Sad!!!
A better idea. Don’t provide him food. His death from hunger will involve suffering, something that should be a sentence for each and every terrorist. My tax dollars should provide him food? No! That goes for every terrorist in our prisons.
Look at the photo. Why is this piece of debris wearing a bullet-proof vest?
Let him get shot!
