SACRAMENTO, Calif. -- A father and son were charged with lying to federal agents about the son's alleged training at an al-Qaida camp for a mission that a judge said was "to kill Americans whenever and wherever they can be found."

According to an FBI affidavit, Hamid Hayat first denied any link to terror camps, but then told agents he attended an al-Qaida camp in 2003 and 2004.

"Hamid advised that he specifically requested to come to the United States to carry out his jihadi mission," according to the affidavit. "Potential targets for attack would include hospitals and large food stores."

Hayat and his father, Umer Hayat, were arrested over the weekend, FBI agent John Cauthen said Tuesday. Two other men have been detained on immigration violations, he said. The court complaint alleges that Umer Hayat lied about his son's involvement and money he sent for the son's training.

Have there been *any* convictions other than Moussaoui of terror suspects since 9/11?
