| A Pakistan-born US national has been found guilty of conspiring to support terrorist groups including Al-Qaeda and Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT). Syed Haris Ahmed, who provided videos of important places in Washington, to LeT and Qaeda operatives, now faces up to 15 years in prison, the US Department of Justice said on Wednesday after a trial court in Northern District of George found Ahmed guilty of conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists.
"This case has never been about an imminent threat to the United States, because in the post-9/11 world we will not wait to disrupt terrorism-related activity until a bomb is built and ready to explode," said David E Nahmias, US Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia.
"The fuse that leads to an explosion of violence may be long, but once it is lit – once individuals unlawfully agree to support terrorist acts at home or abroad – we will prosecute them to snuff that fuse out," he said
