Bin Laden's ex Driver Found Guilty

A U.S. military jury on Wednesday found Osama bin Laden's former driver guilty of five counts of material support to a terror organization in the September 11, 2001, attacks.

In a split verdict, jurors found Salim Hamdan not guilty of conspiracy to aid a terror organization, in this case al Qaeda. To be convicted of that charge, jurors would have had to prove that Hamdan had an intent to aid and plan the attacks. Hamdan's attorney said the defendant cried as the verdict was read. Hamdan faces a sentence of up to life in prison.

"Hamdan is now considered a convicted war criminal and is no longer considered an enemy combatant and will be held separately from the other detainees at Guantanamo because of his new status," Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said.
