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.

Famous quotes containing the words terror, conspiracy and/or conviction:

    One of the surest evidences of an elevated taste is the power of enjoying works of impassioned terrorism, in poetry, and painting. The man who can look at impassioned subjects of terror with a feeling of exultation may be certain he has an elevated taste.
    Benjamin Haydon (1786–1846)

    America is a vast conspiracy to make you happy.
    John Updike (b. 1932)

    There comes a time in every man’s education when he arrives at the conviction that envy is ignorance; that imitation is suicide; that he must take himself for better for worse as his portion; that though the wide universe is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given him to till.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
