1960s militant moved to federal custody
by GREG BLUESTEIN, Associated Press WriterFri Aug 3, 5:56 PM ET
A 1960s black militant sentenced to life in prison for killing a deputy in 2000 has been transferred to federal custody because his high-profile status presented "unique issues," Georgia corrections officials said.
State officials declined to specify why they transferred Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, who gained fame when he was a Black Panthers leader known as H. Rap Brown.
Many still know Al-Amin as H. Rap Brown, the radical who served as a leader of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. In 1967, he famously said that violence was "as American as cherry pie."
