A man accused of helping to provide financial support to an al-Qaeda leader wants a judge to allow him to live with relatives iwhile he awaits trial.

Lawyers for Asif Ahmed Salim say in court records that his sister-in-law, Assistant District Attorney Sabrina Nizam, has agreed to monitor his activities if a judge allows him to be placed on home detention in Duluth, Georgia.

Salim is a former Ohio State University student. He is jailed and faces trial in federal court in Ohio.

Salim’s attorneys deny his involvement in what prosecutors say was an effort to raise money for the late Anwar al-Awlaki, who was linked to planning several attacks against Americans. A US drone strike killed Al-Awlaki in Yemen in 2011.
