Prosecutors seek 30 years for bin Laden driver
Salim Hamdan pleaded with a military jury today to spare him from a life in prison, saying he worked as Osama bin Laden’s driver because he needed a job. Prosecutors asked for a sentence of no less than 30 years.
Hamdan, a Yemeni man with a fourth-grade education, was convicted by the six Pentagon-appointed jurors of aiding terrorism by chauferring bin Laden around Afghanistan at the time of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. But he said he merely had a “relationship of respect” with bin Laden, as would any other employee.
