General Info:
Alaa Mohd Abusaad is a former University of Alabama student who was sentenced to seven and a half years in prison for concealing financing to the al Qaeda terrorist group.

Abusaad was also ordered to spend ten years on supervised release following the prison term, prosecutors said in a statement.

She pleaded guilty in 2019 to a charge of concealing terrorism financing after she told an undercover FBI employee how to send money to fighters engaged in terrorism and that money “is always needed,” authorities said.

She told the agent to use fake names and addresses when sending electronic transfers to avoid detection by police.

Prosecutors said Abusaad also introduced the undercover agent to a financial facilitator who route money to “brothers that work with aq (al Qaeda).”
