The suspect was accused of eyeing spots like 30 Rock, Grand Central, NY-area airports, as well as the Brooklyn, Triborough and George Washington bridges; the jury couldn't reach a verdict on the charge of providing material support for a terrorist group
much of the evidence came from what Saab himself told FBI investigators that was “un-credible, crazy, unsubstantiated information,”Saab spoke with the FBI in 11 sessions over several weeks prior to his 2019 arrest, but was never read his rights, Kirton said in an email after the verdict.
“The evidence at trial showed that Saab surveilled some of New York’s most iconic and highly trafficked locations,” Williams said in a statement, “in order to provide critical intelligence on how they could be most effectively attacked.”Judge Paul G. Gardephe questioned whether the terrorism count conviction will stand based on rules about how the statute of limitations pertains to terrorism charges.
Prosecutors were also given a week to decide whether to seek a retrial on the material support charge, which carries a potential penalty of up to 20 years in prison.
