Man Pleads Guilty In Shopping Mall Bomb Plot: 'I'm not going to...testify against any other Muslims'Man Pleads Guilty In Shopping Mall Bomb Plot
Nuradin Abdi...agreed to plead guilty to conspiring to providing material support for terrorists, 10TV's Kevin Landers reported.
He was indicted on four counts but only pleaded guilty to the conspiracy to provide material support charge, Landers reported...
...Abdi's attorney spoke with reporters following his client's hearing.
"It's better to minimize your losses," said Mahir Sharif. "He has a life ahead of him. Let's face it, with all due respect to America and Americans, the jury he was going to face are not his peers."...
Who are his peers? Other Muslim terrorists who express political disagreements by the liberal use of C4?
"He said, 'I am a Muslim I'm not going to go in front of the government and testify against any other Muslims,'" Sharif said...
...Abdi will most likely be sentenced to 10 years in prison, Landers reported. He will also face deportation after being released...

Update: Charles has more, here.
Best to make an example of him. When he starts serving his ten years, subpoena him, and hold him in contempt as long as he refuses, stipulating that time spent in contempt will not count against his sentence.
He'll come around.
