(NEW YORK) -- Osama bin Laden's son-in-law was convicted Wednesday by a jury in New York of conspiring to kill Americans and assisting al Qaeda by serving as the terror group's spokesman after the September 11th attacks.
In court Wednesday, Sulaiman Abu Ghaith had no visible reaction when the verdict was read -- this after several hours of deliberation spread over two days.
“This verdict is a major milestone in the government’s unrelenting efforts to pursue justice against those involved with the September 11 attacks," U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said in a statement. "I can imagine no more fitting outcome, and no stronger message to those who would harm our nation and its people: that no amount of distance or time can weaken America’s resolve to pursue, capture, and hold them accountable to the fullest extent of the law."

An excellent reason for the death penalty. Why not let US citizens have a crack at him first?
I'd love to see what a group of New Yorkers would do to this Muslim dirt bag.
