NEW HAVEN, Conn. — A jury has been picked for the federal trial of a former Navy sailor charged with supporting terrorism.

Five male and 11 female jurors, including four alternates, were selected Wednesday in New Haven federal court.

Authorities allege that Hassan Abu-Jihaad leaked a document describing the location and vulnerabilities of a Navy battle group to suspected terrorism supporters in London. His trial starts Feb. 25.

Abu-Jihaad, of Phoenix, has pleaded not guilty to charges he provided material support to terrorists with intent to kill U.S. citizens and disclosed classified information relating to the national defense.

The 31-year-old has been held without bail since his arrest in March in Phoenix.
