Four Muslim converts have been found guilty of attempting to blow up two New York synagogues and to shoot down military planes.
After eight days of deliberations, a New York jury this week returned
a verdict of guilty on all eight counts against James Cromitie, 44, and David Williams, 29. The charges included attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction.
Onta Williams, 34, and Laguerre Payen, 29, were acquitted of attempting to kill officers and other employees of the United States. They were convicted on the remaining seven counts.
The men, three US citizens and one Haitian, face life in prison when they are sentenced in March.
