FBI Reviewing Probation of Man Connected to Muhammad Film
Is not supposed to be accessing the Internet as part of probation following bank fraud conviction
Federal officials are reviewing the probation of a local man believed to the maker of an anti-Islam film that ignited a firestorm in the Muslim world, a court spokeswoman said Friday.
Nakoula Basseley Nakoula was convicted in 2009 of bank fraud and was placed on supervised probation for five years.
Federal officials consider Nakoula to be the filmmaker behind the anti-Islam "Innocence of Muslims."
