(Reuters) - A New York accountant accused by U.S. authorities of helping al Qaeda with computer systems pleaded guilty on Monday in federal court to terrorism-related charges.
Sabirhan Hasanoff, 36, a dual U.S. and Australian citizen who owns a home in Brooklyn, New York, was arrested in April 2010 and charged with conspiracy to provide material support to al Qaeda.
At a hearing in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, Hasanoff told Judge Kimba Wood that between 2007 and 2010 he agreed to give support to the militant Islamist network.
He faces up to 20 years in prison.
