USA v. Ullah - Material Support Conviction Reversed, Mass Transit Terrorism Convictions Affirmed

The Second Circuit reversed Kayed Ullah's conviction on Count One (material support to a foreign terrorist organization under 18 U.S.C. § 2339B), holding the evidence was insufficient to prove he provided or attempted to provide material support as required by the statute. The court affirmed his convictions on Counts Five and Six (terrorist attack on mass transportation under 18 U.S.C. § 1992(a)(2), and using a destructive device during a crime of violence under 18 U.S.C. § 924(c)). The court held that § 2332f(a)(1) constitutes a crime of violence for § 924(c) purposes. Defendant's life sentences remain intact on the affirmed counts.
