A Moroccan national who plotted to blow up Manhattan synagogues was sentenced to five years in prison Friday.
Mohamed Mamdouh, 22, copped to three crimes under state terror laws on Feb. 28 in exchange for a five year prison sentence, plus three years of post-release supervision.
Prosecutors said Mamdouh and “mastermind” Ahmed Ferhani – busted on May 11, 2011 – discussed dressing as observant Jews to infiltrate synagogues and tried to buy weapons to arm themselves for “the cause.”
Ferhani, 28, who also copped out, was sentenced on March 13 to 10 years in prison.
