A Pakistani man who was brought to the U.S. from Great Britain on terrorism charges has been found guilty.

Abid Naseer was found guilty in a jury trial of providing material support to al-Qaeda and conspiracy to use a destructive device.  He faces life in prison at his sentencing as part of the condition for him to be extradited for trial is that the death penalty would not be considered.

The jury’s decision took a day after closing arguments on Monday.

“If the defendant hadn’t been stopped, hundreds of innocent men, women and children wouldn’t be alive today,” prosecutor Zainab Ahmed said during closing arguments. “He was trying to cover up his motive for revenge against the United States and its NATO allies. Revenge was the defendant’s motive.”

Naseer defended himself in court and said that the government did nothing to prove connection to al-Qaeda and all the email communications they pointed out where just him trying to find a wife.
