Prosecutors said the defendant, a native U.S. citizen who has an international following in some Muslim circles, wielded enormous influence among a group of young Muslim men in northern Virginia who played paintball games in 2000 and 2001. Authorities said they were a “Virginia jihad network” training for holy war around the globe.

3 years to life
Nine members of the group have been convicted and sentenced for their roles in the conspiracy,.
with prison terms ranging from three years to life.

Al-Timimi’s lawyers argued that their client merely suggested that Muslims may want to leave the United States after Sept. 11 because of the potential for a backlash against them.
