Five convicted of Sears Tower attack plot

Five men were convicted of plotting to join forces with al-Qaida to destroy Chicago’s Sears Tower and bomb FBI offices in hopes of igniting an anti-government insurrection.

The jury in Miami, Florida, acquitted another member of the so-called “Liberty City Six” in the sixth day of deliberations last night. Two previous trials ended in mistrials when jurors could not agree on the men’s guilt or innocence.
