Just more profiling of "peaceful" Muslims.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) -- A federal grand jury has indicted a father and son in California on charges of lying during a government probe into their suspected ties to al Qaeda training camps in Pakistan, the U.S. Attorney's office said on Thursday.

The grand jury returned a three-count indictment charging Pakistan-born Umer Hayat and his son Hamid Hayat, both of Lodi, California, with lying to the
FBI, the Sacramento office of the U.S. Attorney said in a statement.

The indictment charged Hamid Hayat with one count of falsely stating he was not involved with a terrorist organization and another count of lying about attending terrorist or jihadist training camps.

"In truth, as the indictment charges, the defendant had attended one or more jihadist terrorist training camps in Pakistan," according to the statement.

The indictment charged that the elder Hayat falsely stated his son did not attend terrorist or jihadist training camps.

According to an FBI affidavit, the younger Hayat told agents he attended an al Qaeda training camp in Pakistan for about six months in 2003 and 2004.

If convicted, they face a maximum of eight years in prison on each charge.

The elder and younger Hayat were previously charged by complaint on June 7. They pleaded not guilty and are being held without bail. They will next appear in court on June 21.

Their lawyers could not immediately be reached for comment.
