A federal appeals court in Manhattan has ordered a new sentencing for a former top aide to Osama bin Laden, who was convicted of stabbing a guard in the face.I have to laugh how he's referred to as a bin Laden aide, as if he's some office assistant who helps keep his calendar and meeting schedule in order. He's a terrorist, damn it.
The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Tuesday that Mamdouh Mahmud Salim can face more time in prison than the 32-year sentence he has already received.
The court said a judge made an error when she found that his sentence could not be higher.
Salim stabbed a prison guard in 2000. The attack left Louis Pepe brain damaged and barely able to see.
Salim still faces trial and a possible life sentence on conspiracy charges in another terrorism case. That case includes the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa.
