Sentencing of Reaz Qadir Khan, 50, is scheduled for June 8, 2015.
In the plea agreement, the defence and government jointly recommended a prison sentence of 87 months.
In his plea entered before US District Court Judge Michael Mosman, Khan admitted to providing advice and financial assistance to suicide bomber Ali Jaleel's wives after the bombing knowing that such assistance would hinder and prevent the apprehension of her and others in the Maldives who may have been involved with Jaleel.
