A Westchester businessman man yesterday pleaded guilty to a plot to funnel $152,000 to terrorists at a training camp in Afghanistan.
Abdul Tawala Ibn Ali Alishtari, 56, of Ardsley, likely faces 10 to 12 years in prison for terror financing and conspiring to commit wire fraud.
Alishtari, also known as “Michael Mixon,” admitted he took a fee from an undercover agent posing as a rich financier as payment for transferring the money to Afghanistan and Pakistan in late 2006.
The undercover told Alishtari that the money would buy equipment for use at a terrorist training camp.
In pleading guilty in Manhattan federal court, Alishtari also admitted to stealing millions of dollars from his investors in an investment-loan program that he ran.
