Pak-American funnelled money to Kashmiri
A Pakistani-American cabbie has pleaded guilty to charges of funnelling money to Al Qaeda commander Ilyas Kashmiri, who is now believed to have been killed, for terror activities in Jammu and Kashmir and faces up to 15 years in jail.
58-year-old Raja Lahrasib Khan, who was born and raised in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir before he migrated to the US in the 1970s, pleaded guilty to one count relating to material support to a foreign terrorist organisation. Khan, who was arrested in March 2010, faces maximum 15 years in prison. His sentencing is scheduled for May 30.
After his arrest, he was charged with two counts of attempting to provide material support to terrorist leader Kashmiri but prosecutors dropped one of them under a plea deal.
His plea agreement calls for an agreed sentence of between five and eight years in prison apart from future cooperation when he’s needed.
