A terror suspect facing trial in the United States is challenging the government’s effort to use evidence obtained by the National Security Agency. Jamshid Muhtorov is accused of providing material support to an Uzbek terrorist group in Afghanistan. In a new court filing, the American Civil Liberties Union says the government should not be allowed to use communications that were obtained without proper court review. Muhtorov is the first defendant to challenge the 2008 law that authorized the government’s collection of personal information from phone and Internet providers when the target is thought to be overseas.
