Chicago Man Gets 10 Years In Suicide-Bomber Plot
2012-12-12
A Chicago man has been sentenced to nearly 10 years in prison for plotting to attend a Somalia training camp with dreams of becoming a suicide bomber for al-Qaida and another terrorist group, al-Shabab.

Shaker Masri's sentencing yesterday came two years after his arrest that relied heavily on an FBI informant. He pleaded guilty in July to attempting to provide material support and resources to a terrorist organization.

Prosecutors say the 29-year-old Alabama-born Masri talked about the possibility of killing a busload of U.S. soldiers and, in their words, spoke of the "heavenly rewards one would receive for martyrdom."

Investigators also allegedly found Osama bin Laden's 1996 manifesto, "The Declaration of War Against the Americans," on Masri's computer.

#1  Give the feller what he desires. Mostly. Rig him in explosives out in a field where he can't hurt anyone but himself.

Gourd Head.
