A Brooklyn architect admitted yesterday that he tried to travel overseas to join a bloodthirsty jihadist terror group in Pakistan.

Agron Hasbajrami, 28, an Albanian citizen legally residing in the United States, was lured away from his New York City architecture career after becoming radicalized on Internet Web sites preaching holy war.

“I tried to help a group of people who I believed were engaged in fighting in Pakistan,” he said.

Hasbajrami also said he “attempted to help the group by providing money and myself in support of their efforts.”

Hasbajrami, who was arrested at Kennedy Airport last September, pleaded guilty in Brooklyn federal court to one count of providing material support to terrorists. He now faces up to 15 years in prison, under the terms of a plea agreement with federal prosecutors.
