| [Pak Daily Times] A British national accused of operating a website that promoted jihad and supported al Qaeda pleaded guilty in a US court on Tuesday to charges of providing material support for Death Eaters and an associate was due to appear later in the day. The first man, Babar Ahmad, said in US District Court in New Haven, Connecticut, that he was guilty of two counts of providing support to Death Eaters but did not plead guilty to two additional charges that also included conspiracy to injure the property of a foreign government and money laundering. US prosecutors said that Ahmad and Syed Talha Ahsan ran a website that raised funds for Moslem Death Eaters in Afghanistan and Chechnya. The two were extradited to the United States from Britannia last year. Ahmad, dressed in an orange prison jumpsuit, stood with his hands behind his back and gave brief answers to questions from District Judge Janet Hall, who said she would review his plea and set sentencing for March 4. |
