A Guyanese man facing federal charges in connection with a plot to blow up fuel lines and planes at John F. Kennedy Airport has pleaded guilty to a lesser charge.
Abdel Nur pled guilty in Brooklyn federal court today to a charge of providing material support to terrorists.
The 60 year old is one of three men who were arrested in June 2007, when authorities say they discovered the plot to blow up pipelines that supply JFK.
Nur originally claimed he was innocent and set up by an informant.
He faces up to 15 years in prison.
His trial was set to begin tomorrow. If he had been convicted at trial, he could have been sentenced to life in prison.
The other two men are scheduled to appear in court tomorrow for the start of the trial.

He should have been tried as a military combatant.
Funny, there is not one mention in this article that he was a Muslim. It only uses words like Man, or Guyanese man.
Lucky we had the picture, and we know his name.
no way he’s muslim. he was probably upset because he dropped his ice cream, and he became psychologically depressed and was diagnosed with pyromania.
this terrorist gets 15 yrs and Rubashkin got over 20yrs!!! am I missing something here???
Yes, the maximum this terrorist will get is 15 years!
And an innocent man, Mr. Rubashkin is languishing in prison thanks to that pernicious anti semite Linda Reade.
BE”H may he granted clemency for his good deeds to the community, his being an exemplary father and husband immediately.
Reade on the other hand should die a young and agonizing death.
