Waiting for Mercy: The Case Against Yassin Aref and Mohammed Hossain

Ellie Bernstein

2009, DVD 68 minutes

A fascinating documentary following an FBI sting operation in Albany, New York. The complex operation was designed to entrap Yassin Aref, 37 a refugee from Kurisatn and Mohammed Hossain, 51, a United States citizen. Were these two Muslim men who had no prior terrorist history set up to appear as criminals or are they indeed possible suspects? Bernstein takes a look at the complexities and pitfalls on the continuing War on Terror and its' effects on Muslim-Americans.
