<p>Abdul Kadir is one of four people who faced charges in the 2007 plot to explode fuel tanks and the fuel pipeline under the airport, according to a statement from the US Eastern District Court of New York.<br /><br />"The sentence imposed on Abdul Kadir Wednesday sends a powerful and clear message," US Attorney Loretta Lynch said. "We will bring to justice those who plot to attack the United States."<br /><br />A federal jury convicted Kadir and co-conspirator Russell Defreitas, a former JFK cargo worker, in July after a nine-week trial, the statement said. Kadir was found guilty on five counts including conspiring to attack a public transportation system and to destroy a building or other real property by fire or explosive.<br /><br />His attorney, Kafahni Nkrumah, was not immediately available for comment. A third defendant, Abdul Nur, pleaded guilty in June to providing material support to terrorists.
