By David Ingram and Jessica Dye
WASHINGTON/NEW YORK | Wed Mar 20, 2013 3:49pm EDT
(Reuters) - A grand jury has indicted a Saudi-born man accused of being an al Qaeda operative who from 2002 to 2005 conspired to attack American soldiers in Afghanistan and U.S. diplomats in Nigeria.
The indictment against Ibrahim Suleiman Adnan Adam Harun, also known as "Spin Ghul," was unsealed on Wednesday in District Court in Brooklyn, New York.
Harun, 43, was born in Saudi Arabia and claims citizenship in Niger, the Justice Department said in a statement. He is in U.S. custody, the department said.
Harun's lawyer, David Stern, had no comment. Harun was scheduled to appear in court on Friday.
