Valin Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Reuters: Laura L. Myers Wed Oct 24, 2012 SEATTLE (Reuters) - Convicted "Millennium Bomber" Ahmed Ressam, whose 22-year prison term was judged too lenient by a U.S. appeals court, faces re-sentencing on Wednesday for a foiled New Year's Eve 1999 plot to set off explosives at Los Angeles International Airport. Federal prosecutors who appealed the original punishment have asked the Seattle-based U.S. district judge presiding over the case to impose a new sentence that will require Ressam, an Algerian national, to spend the rest of his life in prison. They argue that Ressam deserves a much harsher penalty because he reneged on an agreement to assist in the prosecution of other suspected militants and later recanted all his testimony and other statements to authorities.
