the man accused of opening fire at the Seattle Jewish Federation
two years ago.
On the opening day of his trial Monday, prosecutors said Naveed
Haq had a deliberate plan when he shot and wounded five people and
killed one woman in July 2006.
They played a 911 tape in which Haq asked to be connected to CNN
and said he was making a point about U.S. support for Israel and
the war in Iraq.
The 32-year-old has pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity to
murder and attempted murder charges.
The defense says it will show volumes of mental health files
listing Haq's bipolar schizophrenic and psychotic tendencies. Haq's
lawyer told jurors the attack was the act of "a madman" and said
it came "not from a darkened heart, but from a diseased mind."
