SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - An ice cream vendor who pleaded guilty in a terrorism probe that focused on whether his son attended an al-Qaida training camp was released from federal custody Friday.
Umer Hayat pleaded guilty in May to lying to a customs agent about trying to carry $28,000 into Pakistan three years ago. His plea came one month after a federal jury deadlocked on two charges alleging that he lied to investigators about his son's attendance at the terrorist camp in 2003.
The terrorism-related charges were dismissed as part his plea agreement.
