CLEVELAND -- The leader of Ohio's largest Mosque was released from prison Thursday, NewsChannel5 reported.
Imam Fwaz Damra reported to federal prison in Columbiana County two months ago. A jury convicted him last year for lying about connections to terrorist organizations on his application for U.S. Citizenship. Damra is not a free man yet. The judge also ordered he spend four months under house arrest. He'll have an ankle bracelet attached to his leg to track his every move. There is no word on whether Damra will go back to being the leader of the Islamic community in Cleveland.
