Adis Medunjanin: U.S.

Adis Medunjanin Dept: Adis Medunjanin, a 28-year-old U.S. citizen from Bosnia, had faced a mandatory life term following his conviction last year of conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction and several other terrorism charges stemming from the al-Qaeda-sanctioned scheme hatched with two former high school classmates . Adis Medunjanin was found guilty in May of planning a coordinated suicide bomb attack on New York City subways in 2009. Jane Rosenberg/Reuters, according to CBC. The defendant politely asked for more time to finish one verse, then shifted into a critique of American society and foreign policy and a New York City man, after reciting verses from the Qur'an rather than expressing remorse, was sentenced Friday to life in prison in a foiled 2009 plot that authorities called one of the closest calls since the 9/11 attacks. Appearing in federal court in Brooklyn, Medunjanin read from the Qur'an in Arabic for several minutes before U.S. District Judge John Gleeson interrupted and asked him if he intended to say anything in English.
