Richard Reid pleaded guilty with a laugh Friday to trying to blow up a trans-Atlantic flight with explosives hidden in his shoes, and he declared his hatred for America and his loyalty to Osama bin Laden. "Basically I got on the plane with a bomb," Reid said, alternately defiant and flippant. "Basically I tried to ignite it. Basically, yeah, I intended to damage the plane." Prosecutors said they would ask for a sentence of 60 years to life in prison, in accordance with federal guidelines.
Laugh about that one, bomb boy. |
