On the eve of his criminal trial, Abdel Nur, a Guyanese national charged in an international plot to blow up fuel lines at JFK Airport, pleaded guilty to providing material support to terrorists.
Nur, 60, who was extradited from Trinidad to stand trial in the case, acted as a go-between with the plot’s mastermind, Russell Defreitas, and the radical Islamic group in the Caribbean, Jamat al Muslimeen.
