The sentence will not be final until Aug. 1, when Judge Leonie Brinkema will formally sentence Zamzam and another man, Ahmed Minni.

The court papers filed in Zamzam and Minni’s cases have shed some light on a case that stunned northern Virginia’s Muslim community in 2009 when the group of five departed the U.S.

The arrest occurred shortly after a telephone call between Minni and “Saifullah.”

In November 2009, Ahmed Ameer Minni was one of five young men from Northern Virginia who suddenly left the country without notifying their families.

After that, more than two years passed before Pakistan extradited three of the men — Minni, Aman Hassan Yemer and Ramy Said Zamzam — to face similar charges in the United States, which were first filed in 2009.
