ALBANY (US), Oct 4: Two Muslim men driven by greed were willing participants in a phony plan to kill a Pakistani diplomat, a prosecutor said in closing arguments of their federal trial on Tuesday.
One defence lawyer countered that his client was entrapped by zealous prosecutors and another called his client a victim of post-Sept 11 racial profiling.
