A US federal public servant accused of bankrolling a terrorist group in Pa바카라사이트kistan has been charged under the US’s anti-terror law and detained in US custody.

The charge, announced on Thursday, is punishable by up to five years in federal prison and a fine, and the suspect faces up to 1,000 years if convicted.

The accused, Anwar Ahmad Sharif, 56, a top aide to Barack Obama, is facing charges of conspiring to provide material support to a terrorist organization after he was arrested during a traffic stop in his hometown of Marathwada on February 27.

On his website he describes himself as having been born in the United States but living in Pakistan for 10 years. He is also allegedly part of Jamaat-ud-Dawa, a banned terrorist organisation linked to al-Qaeda.

Sharif, who worked for his own family firm, Al-Tahir Companies, is accused of helping the group establish a safe haven, in this case, in Marathwada and providing it with funding. He has denied any wrongdoing.
