570 News – A witness connected to the 2015 attack on an anti-Islamic cartoon contest near Dallas was convicted of making false statements to the FBI and witness tampering.
Abdul Khabir Wahid of Phoenix faced a federal judge Tuesday who concluded the lies Wahid told hindered the ability of FBI agents to investigate the attack on a timely basis.
Wahid friends Elton Simpson and Nadir Soofi were followers of the Islamic State and were killed by police after they opened fire outside the anti-Islam event in Garland. Wahid testified at the trial of Abdul Malik Abdul Kareem, now serving a 30-year sentence for giving guns to Simpson and Soofi.
