Osama-Bin-Laden’s son-in-law sentenced to life in prison

US: Osama bin Laden’s son-in-law was sentenced to life in prison today for acting as al-Qaeda’s spokesman after the September 11 terror attacks.

According to the media reports, Sulaiman Abu Ghaith was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan, who said he saw ‘no remorse whatsoever’ from the 48-year-old imam.

It is reported that Osama bin Laden’s son-in-law Sulaiman Abu Ghaith was sentenced today to life in prison for acting as al-Qaida’s spokesman (seen in this video) after the September 11 terror attacks. Sources claim that the defense attorney Stanley Cohen asked the judge to impose a 15-year sentence.The jude said in a statement that:

“You continue to threaten, You sir, in my assessment, still want to do everything you can to carry out al-Qaeda’s agenda of killing Americans.”

He testified at trial that his role was strictly religious. Just before he was sentenced, Abu Ghaith said through an interpreter that he would not come here today and seek mercy from anyone but God.

Abu Ghaith was convicted in March on conspiracy charges that he answered Osama bin Laden’s request in the hours after the attacks to speak on the widely circulated videos used to recruit new followers willing to go on suicide missions like the 19 who hijacked four commercial jets on September 11.
