Two Faribault brothers get five years for selling cocaine

Two brothers from Faribault, Minn., will spend the next five years behind bars for selling cocaine, the U.S. attorney's office said.

Ahmed Hadi Al Jebory, 21, and Mohammed Hadi Al Jebory, 23, will be placed on five years supervised release when they get out, according to the sentences handed down Thursday by U.S. District Judge Donovan Frank.

According to their plea agreements, the brothers conspired with others to distribute 19.5 grams of crack cocaine and 95.6 grams of a substance containing a detectable amount of cocaine.

According to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, law enforcement began investigating the brothers in January 2007 and made two "arranged controlled purchases" on Jan. 27 and 29 in a store parking lot in Faribault.

A few days later, authorities executed a search warrant at a Faribault residence and found more than 90 grams of cocaine and several items indicating drug trafficking. They also found $13,500 in cash, a loaded 9-millimeter pistol and an unloaded .25-caliber pistol.

Hamburg's big show will go on despite blast Somehow, some way, the big fireworks show in tiny Hamburg will go on even though there isn't a Roman candle on hand.

An explosion Thursday night in a barn in Waconia Township wiped out the entire lot of pyrotechnics that were to be shot off today as part of a celebration marking the town's 125th anniversary, City Fire Chief Brad Droege said.

But late Friday morning, Droege said he was contacting several fireworks companies to get a replacement shipment in time for tonight.

The accident happened as men from a fireworks company were unloading fireworks for Hamburg's 2008 Zummerfest, which marks the community's 125th anniversary. They were installing fuses when one went off. "Then there was a chain reaction," said Waconia Fire Chief Randy Sorensen.

One worker, Thomas Kaliher, was taken to Ridgeview Medical Center in Waconia and later transferred to Hennepin County Medical Center. He suffered burns on his hands, smoke inhalation and possibly an injury to his eye, Sorensen said.

Kaliher was in serious condition Friday afternoon, said Christine Hill, an HCMC spokeswoman.
