From NBC:A Queens man who flew to Pakistan after Sept. 11 to join al Qaida was set free in New York by a Manhattan federal judge in December because he had cooperated with the FBI.
A spokeswoman for U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara confirms admitted terrorist Mohammed Junaid Babar is now a free man but declined further comment.
Babar gave interviews in Pakistan in 2002 claiming "I will kill every American that I see in Afghanistan and while I'm in Pakistan if I see them in Pakistan I will kill every American soldier I see in Pakistan."
After his arrest, Babar helped the FBI track suspects in the so-called Citicorp center bomb plot back in 2005 and helped British authorities foil a fertilizer bomb plot targeting trains and landmarks in 2006. Officials said Babar also had ties to Mohammed Siddique Khan -- the terrorist who successfully carried out the 7/7 subway bombings in London.
Babar lived in Jamaica Queens and was arrested by the FBI after he returned to New York from Pakistan nearly 7 years ago.
Babar's own mother was in the World Trade Center on 9-11 and survived. When he first agreed to cooperate, officials at the time suggested Babar would face 30 years in prison for his al Qaeda ties. And probation officials recommended a 30-year term at sentencing.
But Judge Marrero's sentence of "time served" means that Babar served just 4 1/2 years. A court spokeswoman would not comment on the sentence or why the hearing was not on a public calendar in advance.

Oh this is great news. (sarcastic tone)....
i can only guess which president appointed this judge?
shame, shame, shame
So why isn't this piece of shit deported where it belongs?
If he still lives in Queens than he can be "found". Two to the back of the head.
Anon No. 2:
Judge Marrero was appointed in 1999. Which party was in the majority in the Senate and Congress at that point and approved that appointment, even though they were holding up a lot of the President's appointments at that point?
Deport him and ALL family members immediately!!!!
from wiki:
"He is well-known for twice striking down elements of the USA PATRIOT Act"
"He was a co-founder of the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund in 1972."
he was appointed by Bubba Clinton ,the same president who pardoned the Puerto-Rican terrorists who killed many n.y.c. and national citizens in the 1970's. they were also named F.A.L.N.
Bubba's wife ,Hillary received an overwhelming hispanic vote for U.S. Senator from NY,later.
Jimmy from brooklyn ,COMMUNIST EXPERT, told Bob Grant that the communists and islamist terrorists groups in America ,have been having a caucus at a catholic church on Amsterdam Avenue in the 60 th to 70th street area of Manhattan.
he insinuated that these anti-American groups are
going to become partners in creating chaos ,locally.
Well, if Jimmy from Brooklyn, COMMUNIST EXPERT, said it, it must be so!!!!!
Panic! Run for the hills!!!!!
But don't forget to put on your tin foil hat on before you go out of the house! It will shield you from the Commie Death Rays!!!!!!
YOUR tax dollars at work.
you finally gave us a reliable source to prove that Armand and Julius( founder of COMMUNIST PARTY U .S.A.) HAMMER , were Communists. (wikipedia)
and here you go again, demonizing Jimmy from Brooklyn.
the next FACT you will probably find a joke is the Terrorist Weather Underground murderers of American citizens in the 1970"s ?
do you care to help us find out who they were,with a source ?
Once again, the Demonizer complains about someone else demonizing.
I didn't give you anything via wikipedia. That was someone else.
The Weather Underground? After that, are you guys going to look for the people who helped out John Wilkes Booth?
You need some stronger meds, Gramps.
why don't you admit that your comments are really a way to apologize for the anti-american terrorists mentioned so far? is murdering innocent citizens a joke,COMRADE ?
i believe the 1950""fellow travelers" chose the term "sympathizer".
does it sound familiar to you ?
Bab's boyfriend.
Since they are not my friends, nor have they ever been, nor have I ever supported them or rationalized their actions, there's no need for me to apologize for anything, Gramps.
Having fun demonizing people whose opinions differ from yours?
Fellow travellers?
Weather Underground?
Once again - the Cold War is over. We won (and note that I say WE). We now live in the 21st century.
william ayers, bernadette dorhn,chicago, Illinois Senator Barry Soetero Stanley Obama,served on the same board. will you give us the source to disprove these Weather Underground members criminal terrorist activities in the 1970's.
their connection to the president of the U.S. is the present ,2006-2011.
the MASTERS OF DECEIT are here now, but ashamed to come out of the marxist closet.
see who Van Jones is? and why was he an advisor to Obama?
Your question is impossible to answer since it is not written in readable English. I don't read far-right paranoia.
Get someone to translate.
you only play offense. but you are losing ,because you have no defense.
Of course. The Demonizer is being demonized again. There is nothing to defend, because:
1) I never supported groups like the Weather Underground. Can you say the same about the John Birch Society, the Ku Klux Klan, the American Nazi Party and the guy who blew up the building in Oklahoma City?
2) You don't write clearly enough to make a clear case for anything. You should look into taking and ESL class, Gramps.
Gramps --
Your way of defending yourself is to question people's patriotism.
Is not Repub/Con hypocrisy grand?
As a great Democratic President once said: "If you don't like the heat get out of the kitchen."
RE: "the cold war is over"
a few months ago a russian communist cell of ten spys were exposed by the F.B.I. they apparently were operating in the U.S. for many years.
why did the obama government quickly send them back to russia, with out revealing what damage they had done to the U.S.?
was the exchange of U.S.citizens for ten russian spys ,an equal one ?
i believe the redheaded female spy was named "Chapman".
I repeat:
The Cold War is over. We've had espionage issues with other nations as well, including those we presume to be our allies.
Beyond that, George Bush looked into Vladimir Putin's eyes, saw his soul, and believed him to be a man who can be trusted, remember?
