New York, May 23 (ANI): US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have deported a Pakistani man arrested in Massachusetts during the investigation last year into the failed Times Square bombing.
Aftab Ali Khan, who helped failed Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad to raise funds, landed in Pakistan on Sunday as part of his punishment for providing 4,900 dollars.
ICE officers towed Khan from Boston Logan International Airport to Benazir Bhutto International Airport in Islamabad.
Khan, 28, was living and working at a gas station in Watertown, Massachusetts. After borrowing the dough from his boss, Khan funneled it to Shahzad in February 2010.
In exchange, investigators say, Khan's family got an equivalent amount of money in Pakistan, The Daily News reports.
Khan was one of four people arrested after Shahzad's fumbled attempt to explode an SUV in the center of Times Square. The others implicated included Shahzad, Khan's uncle, and a man in Maine.
Khan was not accused of knowing about or participating in the botched attack, but later he pleaded guilty to charges of unlicensed money transmitting and immigration document fraud. (ANI)
