About Sabirhan Hasanoff N.Y. Accountant

About Sabirhan Hasanoff N.Y. Accountant
Muslim or Arab Perpetrators

September 30, 2013 Sabirhan Hasanoff, 37, a citizen of the U.S. and Australia was a successful accountant who in 2012 pled guilty to supporting al-Qaida with money and supplies. He was sentenced to 18 years in prison by a judge who said it was necessary to deter others from developing similar violent aspirations.


The indictmentagainst them stated that Wesam el-Hanafi (the co-accused) had travelled to Yemen in 2008, taken an oath of allegiance to al-Qaeda, then returned to New York and conspired with Hasanoff to help “modernise” AQAP by providing technical equipment. Hasanoff, who grew up in Adelaide, first pleaded not guilty, but changed his plea last week.

 Australian citizens becoming involved with jihadist groups in Yemen. The key group is al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), the Yemen-based branch of al-Qaeda that produces Inspire magazine, and was behind the attempted bombing of an airliner in Detroit in 2009 and the placing of explosive-filled printer cartridges in cargo planes in late 2010. ASIO and other agencies have long been concerned about the possibility of Australians becoming involved with AQAP. In the nearly eleven years since 9/11, there have been many reports of Australian citizens or residents engaging in jihadist activity in countries such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, Lebanon, Somalia and Yemen. For the first four of these countries, these claims have been confirmed by evidence heard in open courts, multiple convictions (both locally and overseas), and sometimes by the people involved talking to the media. For Yemen, there had not been any similar confirmation until last week.
