NEW YORK (AP) — A Pakistani man has been sentenced to 40 years in prison for a failed al-Qaida bomb plot on the New York City subway.
A federal jury in Brooklyn convicted Abid Naseer in March. He was sentenced Tuesday.
The trial featured spies in disguise, evidence from the raid on Osama bin Laden’s compound and the defendant’s questioning of an admitted co-conspirator.
Naseer was first arrested in 2009 in Great Britain on charges he was part of a terror cell plotting to blow up a shopping mall in Manchester, England. The charges were dropped after a British court found there wasn’t enough evidence.
U.S. prosecutors later named him in an indictment alleging a broader conspiracy that included the failed New York subway plot.
