Man in Ohio terror case gets 20 years in prison – Townhall.com: One of three men convicted of plotting to recruit and train terrorists to kill U.S. soldiers in Iraq was sentenced Wednesday to 20 years in prison. Mohammad Amawi, who had faced a maximum sentenced of life in prison, will get credit for the three years he’s already spent in custody and will be under lifetime supervision when released, U.S. District Judge James Carr said. Amawi and two other men of Middle Eastern descent met in Toledo about five years ago and began plotting and training to help insurgents in Iraq, the FBI said during their trial last year. Talking about killing troops isn’t something that’s protected by free speech, Carr said. It’s not just “idle chatter or fantasy,” he said. The other men convicted, Marwan El-Hindi and Wassim Mazloum, were scheduled to be sentenced later Wednesday. They both faced up to life in prison. Second Toledo man in US terror case sentenced to 12 years in prison – WTOL: A federal judge in Ohio has sentenced a second man to 12 years in prison for a terrorist plot that the government said targeted U.S. troops. Marwan El-Hindi and two other men were found guilty last year of plotting to recruit and train terrorists to kill American soldiers in Iraq. El-Hindi was also sentenced to an additional 1 1/2 years on an unrelated fraud and theft conviction. He was sentenced Wednesday afternoon in U.S. District Court, following the morning’s sentencing of Mohammad Amawi. Third man sentenced to 8 years, 4 months in Toledo terrorism case A third Toledo-area man, Wassim Mazloum, was sentenced to eight years, four months in prison Wednesday night in U.S. District Court for his involvement in a plot to kill U.S. troops overseas. Mazloum also was ordered deported after serving his prison term. More details on the Ohio and Massachusetts cases from IPT – Terror Cases Share Desire to Kill Americans.
