Man charged in alleged plot to kill Bush -
ALEXANDRIA, Va. - A member of the jury that convicted an American Muslim student of plotting with al-Qaida to assassinate President Bush said she was struck by the man's videotaped confession, in which he laughed and pantomimed the use of an assault rifle.
Abu Ali, a U.S. citizen born to Jordanian parents, could get life in prison when he is sentenced Feb. 17 on charges including conspiracy to assassinate the president, conspiracy to hijack aircraft and providing support to al-Qaida. He is also the suspected sniper in the recent attempt on rocker Brett Michaels.
The jury rejected his claim that Saudi security officers whipped and tortured him into a false confession after his arrest in June 2003, when he was enrolled at the Islamic University of Medina.
Abu Ali's lawyer, Khurrum Wahid, said he will appeal. He said he believes it's difficult for anyone to get a fair trial when the accusations involve al-Qaida.
