New York businessman accused of trying to help fund terror training camps in Afghanistan NEW YORK: A businessman was charged the other day with secretly trying to pass along thousands of dollars to buy night vision goggles and other equipment for a terrorist training camp in Afghanistan. Abdul Tawala Ibn Ali Alishtari, 53, of Ardsley, pleaded not guilty in U.S. District Court in Manhattan to an indictment accusing him of terrorism financing, material support of terrorism and other charges. The charges carried a potential penalty of 95 years in prison. The indictment said he accepted an unspecified amount of money between June and December to transfer $152,000 that he believed was being sent to Pakistan and Afghanistan to support an Afghanistan terrorist training camp. He was also charged with money laundering for allegedly causing the Aug. 17 transfer of about $25,000 from a bank account in New York to an account in Montreal, Canada. The money was to be used to provide material support to terrorist, prosecutors said. The indictment also charged him with scheming to defraud investors by obtaining millions of dollars for a �Flat Eletronic Data Interchange� and promising high guaranteed rates of return. Alishtari, also known as Michael Mixon, was detained pending a court appearance next week. Prosecutors said he was a danger to the community and a flight risk. Alishtari's court-appointed lawyer, Richard Greenfield, said he was not familiar enough with the case to present a bail package. Greenfield declined to comment outside court.
