Reuters: Canadian Qaeda bomb plotter gets life in US prison

Canadian Qaeda bomb plotter gets life in US prison

Fri Jan 18, 2008 2:01pm EST

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A Canadian who admitted plotting to bomb U.S. embassies in Singapore and the Philippines was sentenced to life in prison on Friday.

Mohammed Mansour Jabarah, a Canadian citizen of Iraqi descent, was sentenced by a federal judge after pleading guilty in July 2002 for his role in disrupted bomb plots on orders from al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.

"I do not believe in terrorism, violence and killing," Jabarah, 25, said in a 20-minute leniency plea to U.S District Judge Barbara Jones, arguing he had been "brainwashed" by Osama bin Laden and top al Qaeda leaders when he agreed to the plot.

"I was very sadly deceived by them and they exploited and used me maliciously."
