Osama bin Laden's son-in-law is expected in a U.S. court to face a possible life sentence in his terrorism case.
Sulaiman Abu Ghaith was convicted in March on charges he conspired to kill Americans in his role as a spokesman for al-Qaida. His sentencing is set for Tuesday in federal court in Manhattan.
The Kuwaiti imam became the voice of al-Qaida recruitment videotapes after the Sept. 11 attacks. He warned in one that "the storm of planes" wouldn't stop.
Abu Ghaith testified at trial that his role was strictly religious. The defense has asked for a 15-year sentence.
