U.S. District Judge
Robert Scola levied the sentence against Hafiz Khan, a U.S. citizen and
Pakistani native who ran the Miami Masjid, also known as the Flager
Mosque.
A jury in March found
Khan, 78, guilty of four charges that accused him of supporting and
conspiring to support terrorists and a terrorist organization.
The charges alleged Khan,
who prosecutors said ran the Miami mosque since at least 1999, sent
money and other support from the United States to the Pakistani Taliban
and its supporters from at least 2008 to 2010.
The charges also accused
Khan of using a madrassa, or Muslim religious school, that he founded in
Pakistan to shelter and support Pakistani Taliban militants.
