Twenty-two-year-old Mohamed Alessa of North Bergen and 25-year-old Carlos Almonte of Elmwood Park face up to life in prison. They were due to be sentenced Tuesday, but The Record newspaper reports that a federal judge agreed Friday to defense requests to postpone the hearing.
A new sentencing date hasn't been set.
The two pleaded guilty in March 2011 to conspiring within the United States to murder individuals outside the U.S. by trying to join a designated terrorist organization.
The men were arrested in June 2010 at New York's Kennedy Airport as they prepared to board separate planes to Egypt.
