LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The two Kentucky men who admitted to conspiring to send weapons, cash and explosives to al-Qaida will be sentenced together.

30-year-old Waad Ramadan Alwan was scheduled to be sentenced next month in federal court in Bowling Green.

But now he'll have to wait until December.

Alwan's co-defendant, 24-year-old Mohanad Shareef Hammadi, also pleaded guilty.

The two will now be sentenced together.

They faced charges of trying to send a variety of weapons, along with other explosives and cash to the terrorist organization in Iraq.
