(AP) -- WINDSOR, Ontario - A judge has granted bail for two Canadian men facing extradition to the U.S. on charges linked to the slain leader of a radical Detroit-area Islamic group.

Prosecutors and defense lawyers announced the bail arrangement Friday for Mohammad Al-Sahli, 33, and Yassir Ali Khan, 30, in an Ontario courtroom.

A Detroit imam, Luqman Ameen Abdullah, was killed Oct. 28 when FBI agents attempted to arrest him on charges of conspiracy to sell stolen goods.

Canadian police arrested Al-Sahli and Khan three days later across the border in Windsor on U.S. charges of conspiracy to sell stolen goods.

The FBI has alleged that Abdullah espoused violence and sought to establish an Islamic state within the United States, a claim his mosque calls preposterous. Most members of the group are black Muslims.
