Lodi Muslims Suspect Mole

Aug. 27 (KGO) -- Muslim leaders in Lodi believe the government planted a mole in their small town to get more information on at least one of the men now at the center of a federal terror investigation.

Hamid Hayat is accused of lying about attending a terrorist training camp in Pakistan. His father, Umer Hayat, was also arrested for lying about his son's involvement.

Muslim leaders in Lodi say since those arrests, a man who'd forged deep ties in the community has now disappeared. Federal prosecutors have revealed they did have a cooperating witness in Lodi, but did not name the person.

That person apparently recorded scores of conversations with Hamid Hayat.
