A former FBI translator was arrested on Saturday on charges of falsifying a translation and lying to investigators after his own voice appeared on an audio recording during the surveillance of a suspect in a terrorism investigation.
Abdirizak Jaji Raghe Wehelie, 66, who appeared in court on Monday, worked as “a linguist translating communications captured by court-authorized surveillance.” The Justice Department said, “Wehelie allegedly intentionally misidentified his own voice that was captured when Person A left a voicemail message on Wehelie’s mobile telephone,” and that he lied during questioning by the FBI.
According to the criminal indictment unsealed on Monday, “Person A was suspected of having conspired with and aided and abetted Person B, who traveled to Somalia to join al-Shabaab,” a terrorist organization with links to al Qaeda that has killed hundreds of people in terrorist attacks. The Justice Department said "Person B" was on the FBI’s Most Wanted Terrorist list. The individual is believed to be Liban Haji Mohamed, a former Virginia cab driver who left the U.S. to join al Shabab.
Wehelie was arrested Saturday night after returning from an international flight, and appeared in an Alexandria courtroom in the Eastern District of Virginia on Monday afternoon. He has been charged with seven counts of making false statements — related to allegedly misidentifying his own voice as an “unknown male” on an audio recording in a terrorism-related surveillance recording and then repeatedly lying to investigators — and with an eighth count of obstruction of justice. He faces a maximum penalty of 25 years in prison. He is free on bond.
