U.S. jury convicts bin Laden son-in-law on terrorism charges


    NEW YORK (Reuters) - Suleiman Abu Ghaith, one of Osama bin Laden's sons-in-law, was found guilty of terrorism-related charges by a federal jury in New York on Wednesday, following a three-week trial that offered an unusually intimate portrait of al Qaeda's former leader in the days after September 11, 2001.

    Abu Ghaith, 48, faces life in prison after a jury convicted him of conspiring to kill Americans, conspiring to provide material support for terrorists, and providing such support.
