1st LD: British bomb-maker found guilty of killing U.S. soldier

Xinhua, May 21, 2015 Adjust font size:

A British bomb-maker has been found guilty of using improvised explosive devices to kill U.S. soldiers in Iraq, local media reported Thursday quoting a ruling from London's Woolwich Crown Court.

Anis Abid Sadar, a 38-year-old black cab driver from Wembley in northwest London, made bombs as part of a "deadly" campaign to kill U.S. soldiers in Iraq, Woolwich Crown Court has heard.

The explosive devices were planted in or around the road near Baghdad in 2007, and one of the bombs killed 24-year-old Sergeant First Class Randy Johnson in September 2007, according to the court verdict.

Sardar is scheduled to be sentenced on Friday morning. Endit
