The FBI said a Westerville man pleaded guilty Monday to conspiring to provide money and personnel to a known terrorist organization.
Prosecutors said Ahmed Hussein Mahamud, 27, provided material support to Al-Shabab, a terrorist organization based in Somalia.
In a plea agreement, Mahamud admitted that from 2008 through 2011, he conspired with others to provide money to Al-Shabab, 10TV News reported.
The FBI said Mahamud also admitted that he and his co-conspirators raised money from the Somali-American community in Minnesota under false pretenses to pay for men in Minnesota to travel to Somalia to join the terror cell.
