Yandle of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois entered an order revoking the naturalized U.S. citizenship of Iyman Faris, a 50-year-old Pakistan native who was convicted in 2003 of providing, and conspiring to provide, material support to al-Qaeda and sentenced to 20 years in prison.
