CAROL LIN, CNN ANCHOR: Jamil Abdullah, the former black militant H. Rap Brown, appears in court this morning following his capture near White Hall in central Alabama. Abdullah is expected to be returned to Atlanta where he is charged with shooting two sheriff's deputies last week, one of whom later died of his wounds. CNN's Brian Cabell is in Montgomery and he joins us now with the latest. Good morning, Brian.</s>BRIAN CABELL, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Carol. It took agents only about four days to find Mr. Abdullah in White Hall, Alabama, a small town about 40 miles from here. Agents say he came to White Hall because he had friends there from his days back in the 1960s when he was the leader of the Black Panthers and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. Authorities say they spotted him last evening, and when they spotted him, they say he opened fire on them and then he fled into the woods nearby. They called for more reinforcements, and then they chased him for about three or four miles in the woods.</s>BILL IMFELD, FBI SPECIAL AGENT IN CHARGE: Department of Correction dogs were chasing him down, and one of the sheriff deputies actually grabbed him as he was headed for some SWAT team members. So we're fortunate to have him in custody, and certainly the sheriff's deputies in Fulton County and here are glad that this has come to an end.</s>CABELL: Authorities were detaining others, acquaintances, last night, but no charges have yet been filed against them. As for Mr. Abdullah, he is in the jail right this morning. He will be sent over to the federal court later this morning. And then after that initial appearance, he will be sent back to Atlanta where he will face a murder charge. I'm Brian Cabell, CNN, live in Montgomery, Alabama.</s>HARRIS: Thank you, Brian.
