BIN LADEN CHEF/GUANTANAMOBack
[Published: Thursday August 12 2010]

Bin Laden chef sentenced to 14 years in jail

London, 12 Aug-(ANA)-Osama Bin Laden's former cook and driver has been sentenced to 14 years in prison by a Guantanamo Bay tribunal.

Sudanese-born Ibrahim al-Qosi, 50, had admitted conspiracy and providing support for terrorism.

However, he could serve far less time because of a plea deal which is likely to remain secret for several weeks.

Qosi, who was detained in Afghanistan in 2001, also admitted working as Bin Laden's bodyguard and helping him avoid capture by US forces. (ANA)
