A Kansas City used car and auto parts dealer admitted in Kansas City federal court this morning that he provided “material support” to the al-Qaida terrorist organization.

Khalid Ouazzani, a Moroccan-born naturalized U.S. citizen, pleaded guilty to terrorism-related charges, admitting that he sent $23,500 to al-Qaida through a bank in the United Arab Emirates between August 2007 and summer 2008.

Ouazzani, 32, also admitted in the plea hearing that in June 2008, he swore to an unnamed co-conspirator an oath of allegiance to the terrorist organization.

Later in the hearing, Ouazzani’s lawyer, Robin Fowler, asked him if he had sworn to someone else his “intent to join al-Qaida.”

“Yes sir,” Ouazzani responded.
