A 44-year old Ohio man who worked under at least three different aliases, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction, namely explosive devices against targets in Europe and the United States. The sentence was handed down in a court in the Southern District of Ohio.
The man pleaded guilty to count two of a three-count indictment charging him with conspiracy to provide material support and resources to terrorists, conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction (explosives), and providing material support and resources to terrorists. Paul agreed to a sentence of 20 years and prison, while the government agreed to dismiss counts one and three of the indictment.
