(Times of San Diego) A former San Diego resident pleaded guilty Friday to federal charges for providing money and other resources to support terrorist activities in Syria.
Abdullahi Ahmed Abdullahi admitted in San Diego federal court to wiring funds to people for the purpose of taking part in terrorism overseas, which prosecutors say included the “killing, kidnapping and maiming of persons.”
Abdullahi worked with several others in these efforts, including Douglas McCain, another former San Diego resident who died in 2014 while fighting for ISIS in Syria, according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
McCain’s brother, Marchello McCain, also formerly of San Diego, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 10 years in prison on firearms charges and charges of lying to federal agents regarding his assistance to people involved in terrorist activities, including his brother and Abdullahi.
