"one count of conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction, specifically bombs, in terrorist attacks"
Dude. I hope they put this m-f in general population, or at the very least that he never (and I mean never not the justice system's notion of "never") sees the light of day again.
From the AP report:
Paul plotted to bomb government buildings overseas and European vacation spots frequented by American tourists. The indictment does not name specific resorts or buildings that might have been targeted, but gives U.S. embassies, military bases and consulates as examples.
Paul is the last of three Columbus-area acquaintances charged with alleged terrorist activities after the FBI opened an investigation more than five years ago. The Justice Department has accused the three of discussing terrorist attacks during an August 2002 meeting at a coffee shop in suburban Columbus.
One of the men, Iyman Faris, a U.S. citizen originally from Pakistan, pleaded guilty in May 2003 to providing material support for terrorism and was sentenced to 20 years in prison.The other man, Somali immigrant Nuradin Abdi, pleaded guilty in July to one charge of conspiring to provide material support to terrorists. He is serving a 10-year sentence after which he will be deported.
But, for all of you ostriches out there, don't worry. There is no domestic threat to terrorism. Oh, and I have some lovely beachfront property in Kansas for sale.
