Osama Bin Laden Aide Found Guilty in 1998 Embassy Bombings
February 27, 2015Saudi Arabian national and Al Qaeda terrorist Khalid Al Fawwaz has been found guilty of the 1998 bombings of US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania late Thursday, after a New York jury deliberated for three days over the verdict.
The bombing attacks in Nairobi and Dar as Salaam killed 224 people; Al-Fawwaz was arrested in London that same year and extradited to the US 14 years later.
The terrorist likely will face a life sentence, BBC reported.
Preet Bharara, the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, said in a statement after the verdict that the defendant “played a critical role for al-Qaeda in its murderous conspiracy against America.”
Al-Fawwaz was also named as being close to Al Qaeda mastermind Osama Bin Laden and acted as Bin Laden’s “media adviser” in London, he added.
