PORTLAND/WASHINGTON: A former city worker was sentenced on Friday to 87 months in federal prison for providing support to people linked to a suicide bomb attack on the headquarters of Pakistan’s intelligence service on May 27, 2009, in Lahore that killed about 30 people. Reaz Qadir Khan pleaded guilty in February to paying $2,450 to one of the suicide bombers responsible for the attack in Lahore and to providing assistance to the bomber’s surviving wives after the bombing, which also wounded some 300 people. Prosecutors argued in court that by helping the bomber’s wives Khan, a naturalised US citizen, hindered their investigation. The Defence attorneys did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Friday. Khan, a married father of three who had worked as a wastewater treatment plant operator for the Portland city government, was arrested in 2013 after a four-year investigation, officials said. According to charging documents, he began conspiring with the family of Ali Jaleel of the Maldives in 2005, and Khan’s financial support allowed Jaleel to attend a training camp to prepare for the attack on Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence headquarters.
