Baltimore cabbie sentenced to 15 years in terror case

A cabbie from Gwynn Oak who pleaded guilty in April to aiding a terrorist organization (Lashkar-e-Taiba from Pakistan) was sentenced to 15 years in federal prison today. Mahmud Faruq Brent Al Mutazzim went to Pakistan in 2002 to a terrorist training camp run by the group. Mutazzim could have received 30 years under sentencing guidelines had he not agreed to the plea on the charges that he pleaded guilty to. He was arrested in 2005 in a case that also saw arrests of other individuals in other states.
