Al-Qaeda Propagandist Anwar al-Awlaki Sentenced To Ten Years In Prison -- The Telegraph
Fugitive al-Qaeda propagandist Anwar al-Awlaki has received a ten year sentence for his role in the murder of a French energy contractor.
A Yemeni criminal court said the killing of Jacques Spagnolo was "committed under the incitement" of al-Awlaki. It held Othman al-Awlaki, a relative of al-Awlaki who is also on the run, guilty on the same charges. Hisham Mohammad Assem, who gunned down Mr Spagnolo near Sana'a in October, has been given a death sentence.
Prosecutors have said that al-Awlaki corresponded with Assem for months, encouraging him to kill foreigners.
