Oregon man pleads guilty to role in 2009 suicide bombing

Reaz was accused of helping Ali Jaleel, a citizen of the Maldives Islands, and two others believed to have carried out the attack by using a large, bomb-laden truck to penetrate the perimeter of Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence agency on May 27, 2009.

He told Khan that his family should “join yours” and regarding Jaleel’s children, Khan should “bring them up well.” Following the attack, Reaz continued to provide assistance to Jaleel’s two wives with the intent on helping her and others in the Maldives involved in the attack elude authorities and prosecution. Reaz’s defense and the government agreed on a prison sentence of 87 months for the Oregonian and will be sentenced in June.
