Marri Admits Conspiring With Al-Qaeda Operatives; Faces Up to 15 Years

Now that this guy has pleaded Guilty it should be clear to many people that Al Qaida pulled off the worst terrorist acts ever on America , Unfortunately , there was a plea deal made and he can't be prosecuted for most of his admitted intentions ! I hope he becomes a little bitch , for a guy named Bubba !

washington post
A sleeper agent who arrived in the United States a day before Sept. 11, 2001, pleaded guilty yesterday to conspiring with al-Qaeda operatives, revealing new details about his clandestine activities and the danger he posed.

Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri, 43, faces as many as 15 years in prison when he is sentenced this summer. But he could serve far less time if a judge gives him credit for time served -- nearly two years awaiting trial in a fraud case and 5 1/2 additional years the Qatari national spent without charges in a U.S. naval brig as the sole "enemy combatant" on U.S. soil.

Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. rejected efforts by defense attorneys to reduce Marri's prison time, a Justice Department official said, and prosecutors will argue against Marri getting credit for his brig time at the sentencing hearing in July.
Accompanying Marri's plea deal was a statement of facts detailing his contacts with senior al-Qaeda officials and his plans within the United States.

The statement said that between 1998 and 2001, Marri attended terrorist training camps where he learned tradecraft such as prearranged codes to hide telephone numbers and e-mail messages.

In 2001, Marri was approached by Khalid Sheik Mohammed, an operations chief for al-Qaeda, about assisting al-Qaeda operations in the United States, according to court documents, many of which were obtained by federal investigators who had seized an address book at an al-Qaeda safe house in Pakistan.

Marri knew at the time that he was providing himself to al-Qaeda to further their terrorist objectives, the documents said.
