Terrorism conspirator gets 17 years

Post by Chiron »

MIAMI — Jose Padilla, the Brooklyn, N.Y.-born convert to Islam whom the government once accused of plotting to detonate a radioactive "dirty bomb" in the United States, was sentenced Tuesday to 17 years and four months in prison for his role in a conspiracy to help Islamic jihadist fighters abroad.

The sentence was a setback for the government, which had requested life in prison, the maximum.

With time served and good behavior, the 37-year-old could be free around age 50.

Jose Padilla, why does that name sound familiar and not in the sense of this story. It’s like I’ve heard it before.
