A Vietnamese man extradited from the United Kingdom is facing charges that he provided material support to al Qaida in Yemen after telling his wife he was going to Ireland, authorities said.
Minh Quang Pham, 32, made an initial appearance Monday in Manhattan federal court after arriving in the United States on Thursday. He was expected to enter a plea Wednesday to a 2012 indictment that accuses him of traveling from the U.K. to Yemen in late 2010 and receiving terrorist training from al Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula.
