(CNN) -- Two U.S. citizens have been arrested on federal charges of conspiring to provide material support to al Qaeda, federal authorities announced Sunday.
Such material support usually means donating money or other other resources.
The one-count complaint was filed Friday in the Southern District of New York in Manhattan against Tarik Ibn Osman Shah, aka Tarik Jenkins or Abu Musab; and a Florida doctor, Rafiq Sabir, aka The Doctor, according to a joint statement by federal prosecutors and the FBI.
Both men were recorded "allegedly pledging their support and loyalty to al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden," the statement said.
Their alleged conspiracy "to provide material support to al Qaeda" dates from 2003 to May 2005, according to the complaint.
FBI agents arrested Shah in the New York area over the weekend. He is scheduled to appear before a federal magistrate Tuesday in Manhattan.
An FBI spokeswoman said agents arrested the 50-year-old Sabir Saturday morning near Boca Raton, Florida, where he lives. He also is to appear before a magistrate Tuesday in Fort Pierce, Florida.
The case originated and is being handled in the Southern District of New York and led to Sabir in Florida, said FBI spokesman Matt Bertrand.
"Shah and Sabir engaged in multiple meetings and conversations with a confidential source as well as an FBI special agent, who was acting in an undercover capacity and posing as an al Qaeda operative and recruiter," the statement said.
