"A Somali man convicted of attempted murder in Hennepin County,
Minn., wants a new trial, alleging the prosecutor in his case posted
anti-Somali comments on her Facebook Internet page.
An attorney for Ahmed Ali filed a motion Tuesday accusing Hennepin
County attorney Gretchen Gray-Larson of writing derogatory remarks
about people from Somalia on Facebook during the trial.
Ali was recently convicted in the August 2008 shooting that wounded
three people at the Cedar Riverside Plaza in Minneapolis.

not specific about the alleged remarks. The case is scheduled to be
heard Monday in Hennepin County. Gray-Larson did not immediately return
a call left by The Associated Press seeking comment.
