US District Judge Adalberto Jordan said Friday the evidence so far is less than compelling against two brothers charged with helping their father funnel cash to the Pakistani Taleban terrorist group. Both 37-year-old Irfan Khan and 24-year-old Izhar Khan, an imam in South Florida, claim the evidence against them is too weak to keep them jailed until trial.
Prosecutors say they have revealed only partial evidence. Jordan ordered a hearing next week to consider more proof before deciding on bail.
Jordan previously denied bail for the brothers’ father, 76-year-old Hafiz Muhammad Sher Ali Khan, an imam at a South Florida mosque.
All three Khans plus three other people in Pakistan face four terror support charges.
