Two men extradited from Britain last year pleaded guilty on Dec. 10 to supporting terrorists in Afghanistan through websites that sought to raise cash, recruit fighters and solicit items such as gas masks.
Babar Ahmad and Syed Talha Ahsan appeared in U.S. District Court in New Haven to charges of providing material support to terrorists and conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists. By pleading guilty, the men “admitted that they knew that their efforts could result in the maiming and murder of individuals, including U.S. citizens,” acting U.S. Attorney Deirdre Daly said.
