A Westminster man accused of trying to travel overseas to join the Islamic State group pleaded guilty to one count of providing financing for terrorism in federal court, according to court records.
Humzah Mashkoor, 20, was arrested by FBI agents at Denver International Airport in December 2023 after more than a year of communicating with undercover investigators about his plans.
Federal officials said Mashkoor was planning to travel to the Middle East to join the group as a fighter and wanted to give them money and recruit others to join the group.
Mashkoor’s attorneys have described the federal agency’s actions in the case as “appalling,” according to reporting from The Intercept. Mashkoor is diagnosed with autism and was not capable of carrying out the plans he discussed with them, starting when he was 16 years old, his attorneys told the outlet in January 2024.
FBI’s Denver Field Office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Mashkoor faces up to five years in federal prison and a lifetime of supervised release under the plea agreement filed Jan. 30.
His sentencing hearing is set for April 2.
