Al Qaeda helper gets life for role in Bush plot
 US national Ahmed Omar Abu Ali was sentenced to life in prison for joining an Al Qaeda plot to assassinate then president, George W Bush, court officials said.The sentence against Ali, read out by Judge Gerald Bruce in an Alexandria, Virginia courtroom, replaced a previous 30-year-sentence handed down in 2006, but later overturned by an appeals court as too 'lenient'. One of Ali's attorneys, Ashraf Nubani, told AFP that his client "will be pursuing an appeal in the hope that justice will prevail". Posted by: Fred 2009-07-29 |
