A Pakistani man was sentenced to 40 years in prison for his role in an arms smuggling scheme, which led to the drowning of two Navy SEALs during a raid on the boat, of which he was the captain.
He received the punishment from a federal judge in Virginia, on account of several charges related to shipping Iranian weapons to Yemen’s Houthis, per court records.
In January 2024, U.S Navy forces stopped a dhow off the Somali coast. While boarding it,
Chief Petty Officer Christopher Chambers fell into the sea. Petty Officer 1st Class Nathan Gage Ingram jumped to save him, but they both drowned.
Pahlawan was given a 20-year sentence for giving material support and resources to a weapons of mass destruction program of the Houthis. He was sentenced to another 20 years on each of three other charges and 15 years for conspiracy to provide resources to terrorists, per court records.
The charges run concurrently, and so Pahlawan will serve 40 years
