Man, 20, Charged With Threatening Judge, FBI On Twitter Expected In Court

MINNEAPOLIS (AP/WCCO) – A Minnesota man accused of threatening to kill a federal judge and FBI agents has pleaded guilty to a lesser count.

Khaalid Abdulkadir, 20, is accused of tweeting threats last December after one of his friends was arrested on terrorism charges.

On Tuesday, Abdulkadir admitted to  a misdemeanor of impeding a federal officer or employee. He says he's sorry for everything he did wrong.

As part of his plea agreement, Abdulkadir was sentenced to three years of probation, including two years of electronic monitoring.

He had been scheduled to stand trial Tuesday on charges that included threatening to murder a federal judge and a federal law enforcement officer.

Court documents say he posted one tweet that included the words "kill them FBI."
