ILLINOIS<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

\"\"The federal government moved to strip away naturalized citizen status of a convicted Al Qaeda conspirator, officials announced Monday.<\/p>\n

The civil petition against Iyman Faris, a native of Pakistan, states that the 47-year-old naturalized citizen, formerly of Cleveland, Ohio, unlawfully obtained U.S. citizenship, officials said.<\/p>\n

Faris is currently serving a criminal sentence at the U.S. Penitentiary at Marion, Illinois for conspiracy to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization, namely, al Qaeda, and for providing material support to al Qaeda.<\/p>\n

In October 2003, a federal court in Virginia sentenced Faris to 20 years in prison, according to authorities.<\/p>\n

The Ohio truck driver admitted that he plotted with senior operatives of Al Qaeda to destroy the Brooklyn Bridge, according to a New York Times 2003 story.<\/p>\n

Faris tried to withdraw his earlier guilty plea, saying he had admitted a role in the plot only to fool the F.B.I. and secure a book deal for himself, according to the New York Times.<\/p>\n

Under the Immigration and Nationality Act, a naturalized U.S. citizen\u2019s citizenship may be revoked, and his certificate of naturalization canceled if the naturalization was illegally obtained by misrepresentation or hiding facts.<\/p>\n

Faris twice testified falsely to get immigrant status. He was naturalized as a U.S. citizen on Dec. 16, 1999.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
