| [AnNahar] A 40-year-old Yemeni, who fought U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan, pleaded guilty in New York Tuesday to conspiring to murder Americans and to supporting al-Qaeda, prosecutors said. Saddiq al-Abbadi, who was locked away I ain't sayin' nuttin' widdout me mout'piece! with an alleged co-conspirator in Soddy Arabia ...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual hajj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. When the oil runs out the rest of the world is going to kick sand in the Soddy national face... on a U.S. warrant, now faces a maximum life sentence in an American jail. According to court papers, Abbadi left Yemen ...an area of the Arabian Peninsula sometimes mistaken for a country. It is populated by more antagonistic tribes and factions than you can keep track of. Except for a tiny handfull of Jews everthing there is very Islamic... for Iraq to fight against U.S. troops from late 2005 to early 2007. In early 2008, he traveled to northwestern Pakistain to fight for al-Qaeda before slipping across the border into Afghanistan to fight U.S. troops that summer. Abbadi also used his connections to help an American from Long Island -- who has testified against him -- to join al-Qaeda. Bryant Neal Vinas, who also traveled to Pakistain, has been accused of plotting to attack the Long Island Rail Road in New York. Prosecutors said Abbadi pleaded guilty to conspiring to murder Americans, providing and conspiring to provide material support to al-Qaeda and using a machine gun in furtherance of those crimes. "The defendant was a high-level al-Qaeda operative with ties to the terrorist group's big shotship in both Pakistain and Yemen," said Kelly Currie, acting U.S. attorney for the eastern district of New York. "We stand resolute in our commitment to bring to justice those who would try to harm members of our military or who assist al-Qaeda's efforts to kill Americans at home or abroad," he added. |
