| [UPI] A federal judge in New York resentenced Wadih El-Hage, who was the late Osama bin Laden ... who abandoned all hope when he entered there... 's secretary, to life in prison for conspiring to commit terrorism. When U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan resentenced El-Hage, 52, to life in prison Tuesday, he said he thought if El-Hage were ever freed, he would work to advance terrorist acts against the United States "until your last breath," The New York Times ...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... reported Wednesday "You sir, in my judgment, are a committed terrorist who has betrayed your country," Kaplan said. El-Hage is a Lebanese-born American citizen. He is serving a life sentence at the supermax prison in Florence, Colo. El-Hage and three others were convicted in May 2001 of conspiring to commit acts of terrorism, including the 1998 bombings that killed 224 people at U.S. Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania. In 2008, an appeals court upheld the conviction but ordered reconsideration of the life sentence. |
