Akbar found guilty on all counts
News 14 Carolina ^ | 4/21/2005 | News 14 Carolina Staff

A jury has unanimously found Sergeant Hasan Akbar guilty in the attacks on fellow soldiers just days before the Iraq war.

Akbar was charged with two counts of first degree murder and three counts of attempted first degree murder.

Two officers died and 14 others were injured.

A sentencing hearing will be held to decide his fate.

Prosecutors say Akbar told investigators he launched the attack because he was concerned U.S. troops would kill fellow Muslims in the Iraq war.

Why couldn't this trial have taken place in Kuwait? He should have never been allowed to reenter the US.

Nice to hear about some justice being carried out, provided he is sentenced to die for his cowardly heinous crime.

He'll get the same wimp ass slap on the wrist as that traitor Sandy Berger. The Bush admin. doesn't have the balls to give this scum a just sentence!! It might upset the f'n democrats if we're too hard on this enemy of our country.

Courts-martial don't mess around with lengthy deliberations.

I'd be surprised if he walked away with a slap on the wrist. I predict life in prison or the death penalty.

give the a-hole some muslim justice - a scimitar to the back of the neck would be appropriate in his case.

Will he get the death penalty? or is the race card going to be played?

These military trials seem to move very quickly. We'll get the answers to your questions very soon.

Hopefully the judge will keep racial matters out of the courtroom. But he may not be able to control statements made outside the court -- so yeah, I guess that means the press will play up the racial angle.
