(AP) The owner of a Hayward pizza parlor will serve four months of home detention and pay a five-thousand-dollar fine, after pleading guilty to illegally transferring money to a bounty hunter out to kill Osama bin Laden.

Forty-one-year-old Noor Alocozy also was sentenced to three years of probation today in federal court.

Authorities say Alocozy transferred $1 million dollars out of the country between 2002 and 2003. They say some of that money reached Jonathan "Jack" Idema, a jailed American mercenary who claimed he was on a counterterrorism mission with the U-S government.

Authorities say Idema -- a former Green Beret -- was a client of Alocozy's money-transfer business, which operated out of his Liberty Pizza restaurant. Idema is now serving time in an Afghan prison after being convicted of running a private torture camp.

Alocozy pleaded guilty in May of illegally transferring money to unidentified individuals in Afghanistan, Pakistan and elsewhere.
