Men in Ohio terror case sentenced: Accused of targeting U.S. troops
NY Daily News ^ | Oct 21, 2009

A federal judge in Ohio has handed down prison sentences of more than 10 years to two Toledo-area men involved in a terrorist plot that the government said targeted U.S. troops.

Mohammad Amawi was sentenced to 20 years and Marwan El-Hindi was sentenced to 12 years. Both had faced up to life in prison.

The two men and a third defendant were found guilty last year of plotting to recruit and train terrorists to kill American soldiers in Iraq. The third man has yet to be sentenced.

Ridiculously light sentences. This is precisely why the courts have no place in the war on terror.

Yeah, especially with the fact that they will continue to recruit in prison.

I think you are supposed to apply Rogaine to the scalp, not the neck.

I have been wondering, and another FReeper mentioned this too...

Lately we are hearing an AWFUL LOT about terrorists being caught. Are we just catching them now, where we weren't before? Or is it just being reported now?

I suspect the latter. These guys were found guilty last year. Is the story familiar to anyone?
