COLUMBUS, Ohio - A Somali man who pleaded guilty to a charge involving a plot to blow up a central Ohio shopping mall will serve 10 years in prison, 10TV News reported.

Nuradin Abdi's attorneys and U.S. District Judge Algenon Marbley agreed to the sentence, according to a document at the federal courthouse, 10TV's Kevin Landers reported. The formal sentencing is scheduled for Tuesday afternoon.

In July, Abdi (pictured, right) agreed to plead guilty to conspiring to providing material support for terrorists.

He was indicted on four counts but only pleaded guilty to the conspiracy to provide material support charge, Landers reported.

Abdi was accused of wanting to blow up a shopping mall. The target was never made public, 10TV News reported.
