El Sayyid Nosair - Terror Conspiracy Conviction

Terror Conspiracy Conviction

Nosair was still serving time in prison on the New York state assault and weapons charges when he was convicted as part of the federal trial of the "Blind Sheik" Omar Abdel-Rahman. Both received life sentences without parole for a terror conspiracy, in Nosair's case life plus 15 years imprisonment. It was ruled that Kahane's death was part of the total "seditious conspiracy." Nosair is serving his sentence at the United States Penitentiary, Marion, a federal prison in Illinois.
