In Albany, a federal judge ordered two men to be released from jail less than a month after Attorney General John Ashcroft had the men arrested on terrorism charges. The judge blasted the government’s case and said there is no evidence the men have any links to terrorists. The judge ordered the two men, both prominent Muslims in Albany, to be released on bond and held in home detention until trial. The men were arrested in a sting operation carried out by a government informant. Defense attorneys said their clients have been the victims of government entrapment.
