Terror plot leader gets 13-year prison term
November 20, 2009 16:26 EST
MIAMI (AP) -- A Miami federal judge has imposed a 13 1/2-year sentence on the convicted ringleader of a plot to stage terror attacks against Chicago's Sears Tower and FBI offices.
U.S. District Judge Joan Lenard issued the sentence Friday for 35-year-old Narseal Batiste. Prosecutors had sought the maximum 70-year sentence.
Four other men convicted along with Batiste of terror-related charges in May were sent to prison but got less time than prosecutors sought.
The so-called "Liberty City Seven" were arrested in 2006 and accused of plotting attacks with an FBI informant posing as an al-Qaida operative. The conspiracy never progressed beyond talk.
Batiste testified that he played along with terrorism in hopes of scamming $50,000 from the informant.
