Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit May 23, 2007, 05-4537 (United States v. Ahmed Brika)

OPINION

BOGGS, Chief Judge.

In Columbus, Ohio, Mohammed Bousf-iha provided Ahmed Brika, his brother-in-law, with a livelihood. He funded his job training and sometimes offered him a place to live when times were tough. After Bousfiha’s marriage to Brika’s sister had ended, Brika organized and executed a plot to kidnap Bousfiha in Morocco and hold him for ransom over an allegedly unpaid debt.
