An American student arrested last year in London on allegations of providing Al Qaeda fighters with equipment to attack U.S. soldiers is in federal custody in the United States.
Syed Hashmi, 27, is the first terrorism suspect extradited to the United States by British authorities.
Hashmi, known to his associates as Fahad, was indicted in May 2006 on charges of supplying the unspecified equipment for Al Qaeda “to fight against United States forces in Afghanistan.”
He was also charged with agreeing to help others provide military gear for Al Qaeda to use in Pakistan, the indictment said.
