"MIAMI -- Attorneys for two terrorism suspects tied to an alleged al-Qaida dirty bomb suspect are asking for the dismissal of a federal indictment against them based on a jailer's mishandling of a Quran and intimidating jail cell searches that removed handwritten papers in Arabic.

The defense claims the seizures from the cells of Adhan Amin Hassoun and Kifah Wael Jayyousi in May and June amount to government misconduct and an unconstitutional intrusion on trial preparation.

Jailers also disrespectfully tossed Hassoun's Quran on his bunk and left 8,000 pages of trial papers in disarray, his attorney Kenneth Swartz said in motions filed Friday.

Hassoun, a Lebanese-born Palestinian, and Jayyousi, a Jordanian national and U.S. citizen, face possible life prison sentences on charges of plotting to fund and support Islamic jihad through murder and kidnappings abroad, including Bosnia, Chechnya and Somalia."

Hassoun and Jayyousi are accused of being involved in an international terrorist financing plot that allegedly included attempts to recruit terrorists, including Jose Padilla, a former Broward County resident and Chicago gang member and Muslim convert held by the United States as an enemy combatant.

Arrested in May 2002, Padilla has been portrayed as a militant who planned attacks on the United States, including with a radioactive ``dirty bomb.''
