Sabir, 52, was convicted in Manhattan federal court after a three-week trial that featured testimony from him and Ali Soufan, an FBI agent who posed as the al-Qaida recruiter in a sting operation that led to four arrests. When the verdict was read, Sabir looked straight ahead.Later, as he was escorted from the courtroom, he waved to supporters, who said, "Stay strong." ... At the pledge ceremony, Soufan mispronounced al-Qaida more than a dozen times, Sabir said.He also said he did not know "sheik Osama" meant bin Laden.

Whoah....

My take on this is that, although he was assigned to infiltrate this group, Soufan tried to sabatogue his own and the FBI's efforts.

What do you think ?
