Bosnian-born US citizen Adis Medunjanin sentenced to life in prison over NYCsubway bomb plot
A Bosnian-born US citizen has been sentenced to life in prison for his role in planning a suicide bomb attack on New York City subways in 2009 at the behest of senior al-Qaeda operatives. Adis Medunjanin, 28, was convicted in May by a federal jury in Brooklyn on nine counts, including conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction, conspiracy to commit an act of terrorism, and providing material support to al-Qaeda. Prosecutors had urged US District Judge John Gleeson to give Medunjanin the maximum penalty of life in prison, saying in a pre-sentencing court filing that he “committed a host of heinous crimes aimed at killing and maiming his fellow American citizens in order to alter and take revenge for American foreign policy”.

was arrested last year after a chemical supplier became suspicious when he tried to order concentrated phenol, a toxic chemical that has legitimate uses but is also a powerful bomb-making tool. The FBI found journal entries
