LONDON, England -- A British man was sentenced to 13 years in jail on Friday for conspiring with convicted "shoe bomber" Richard Reid to blow up an aircraft in 2001.

Saajid Mohammed Badat, 25, of Gloucester, west England, pleaded guilty to the charge on February 28. He is the first British citizen to be convicted of a terrorist offense since the September 11, 2001 attacks in the United States.

Badat admitted in court that he conspired to place a device on an aircraft in service between January 1, 1999, and November 28, 2003.

"It is clear the plan was that Reid and Badat would bring down a passenger aircraft at similar times in late December that year," prosecutor Richard Horwell said during the trial at London's Old Bailey.

Sounds like the evidence was there.

2. I just don't believe it. I don't believe trained terrorists are this

stupid. Reid brings matches on board and not a lighter. Not going to the bathroom and lighting his matches and bomb.

Wonder if the 'components' found were like that of the suitcase blown up of the Chinese
man last week?

It is clear with thousands of FACTS of how the aWol Adm. has every liar in America working for them and there is the proof that they have done such terrible things. I say Reid and Badat are agents/actors. They are in place to keep the citizens scared of the 'threat'. These guys will have DOD plastic surgery and will be surfing on Oahu's North Shore by 06.

I think the GOPNeoCons sent the anthrax to the Democrats, in the original plan to kill Leahy and Kennedy on the Judiciary Committee. (Was Daschle on Judiciary too?) This was their original plan to stack the courts.

I think Wellstone and Carnahan were also assassinated by the NeoCons.
