Two men in New York have been convicted in a financing scheme in support of the Islamic State (ISIS), a designated terrorist organization, a case which also has a Canadian connection.
Abdullah At Taqi, 26, of Queens was convicted by a jury in Brooklyn, New York, last Friday of conspiring and attempting to provide material support to ISIS, as well as conspiring to launder money. His co-defendant, Mohamad David Hashimi, had previously pleaded guilty to all counts of the indictment.
