FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
Prosecutors have urged the judge to give Abdulmutallab the maximum sentence –
consecutive terms of life in prison.
In October, Abdulmutallab pleaded guilty days after his trial began, saying he
had wanted to avenge the killing of innocent Muslims by the United States.
Court officials said that Abdulmutallab’s parents and one of his sisters will
be in the Detroit courtroom on Thursday. Six victims are scheduled to speak
before Edmunds declares sentencing.
Abdulmutallab, who has been held at a federal prison in Milan, Michigan since
2009, will also be given a chance to address the court before sentencing.
Prosecutors also last week offered new details about how Abdulmutallab’s plot
was directed by U.S.-born Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, who had become an
al Qaeda leader in Yemen.
Awlaki was killed in a drone attack in Yemen last September. In court papers,
the FBI identified Awlaki as “chief of external operations” for al
Qaeda’s Yemen branch as well as an internet-savvy propagandist and
recruiter.
When the bomb caused a fire but failed to explode, Abdulmutallab was quickly
subdued by passengers and crew. The incident led US officials to bolster
airport security, deploying full-body scanners to try to detect hidden
explosives.
The judge is also due to rule on Thursday whether the prosecution can show a
video that the FBI created to simulate the bomb Abdulmutallab tried to
detonate.
