US Muslim leader gets 23-year jail term


ALEXANDRIA, Oct 15: A prominent US Muslim activist was sentenced on Friday to 23 years in prison for illegal financial dealings with Libya and for his role in a Libyan plot to assassinate Saudi Arabia's de facto leader.

Abdurahman al-Amoudi, a naturalized US citizen born in Eritrea, apologized just before US Chief District Judge Claude Hilton read out his sentence - the maximum penalty allowed in a plea deal he made with the government.

"I regret my involvement in everything unlawful I did," said al-Amoudi, standing at a lectern dressed in a green jump suit with the word "prisoner" on the back. -Reuters
