OSAMA BIN LADENS SON-IN-LAW HAS BEEN SENTENCED TO LIFE IN PRISON ------------------------------------------------------- Osama Bin Ladens son-in-law has been sentenced to life in prison for terrorism-related charges at a trial in New York. Suleiman Abu Ghaith, 48, is the highest-ranking al-Qaeda figure to face trial on US soil since the 9/11 attacks. The Kuwaiti clergyman was captured in Jordan last year and brought to the US. In March, a jury found his guilty of conspiracy to kill Americans and aiding al-Qaeda. He is one of the highest-ranking al-Qaeda linked figures to face a civilian jury on terrorism-related charges, is married to Bin Ladens eldest daughter Fatima. Abu argued his role was a purely religious one, aimed at encouraging all Muslims to rise up against their oppressors.
