The last defendant in the 2007 JFK Airport terror plot which snared three Guyanese was today sentenced in a New York court to life imprisonment.
Bloomberg reported that Trinidadian Kareem Ibrahim, 66, was sentenced to life by US District Court Judge Dora Irizarry in Brooklyn, New York. He was convicted in May last year. US prosecutors had accused him of joining a plan in May, 2007 to target the JFK airport.
“There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that he agreed to enter this plot”, the judge was quoted by Bloomberg as saying.
The terror plan which was crafted by Guyanese Russell DeFreitas was designed to blow up fuel lines and tanks. DeFreitas and former PNCR MP Abdul Kadir were sentenced to life imprisonment in the matter and another Guyanese Abdul Nur was jailed for 15 years.
