Abdel Nur, a Guyanese man who had pleaded guilty in the 2006 plot to blow up New York’s John F Kennedy Airport was deported here on Thursday on the completion of his sentence.
Just prior to his trial, Nur had pleaded guilty in June of 2010 to one count of providing support to terrorists. He was sentenced on January 13, 2011 to 15 years in prison.
He was sentenced by US District Judge Dora Irizarry in Brooklyn, New York. In her sentencing, she had said “This plot was intended to cause great economic harm to the United States and to cause death and serious physical injury to countless people”.
