Two California men have
been sentenced to 25 years in prison for conspiracy to support
terrorism, sources said Tuesday.
Sohiel Omar Kabir, 37, and Ralph Deleon, 26, were convicted
last year of planning to train with the Taliban and to join
al-Qaeda, and also of conspiring to murder American military
personnel abroad.
Kabir is an Afghani naturalized US citizen and Deleon is a
Filipino with permanent residency status.
Kabir was found to have recruited Deleon and two others,
converting them to radical Islam.
The other two have pled guilty to conspiracy and cooperated
with prosecutors. They are scheduled for sentencing on March 16.
