Jury reaches verdict for 1 of 2 men in alleged train plot
None
A jury said Wednesday it unanimously reached a verdict for one of two men accused in an alleged terror plot to derail a passenger train travelling from New York to Toronto but is at an impasse on some of the counts against the second man.
Justice Michael Code asked the jury to try once again to reach a verdict. The jury has been deliberating for eight days.
Raed Jaser and Chiheb Esseghaier were arrested in 2013 following an investigation into the alleged plot that involved an undercover FBI agent.
Both men are charged with two counts of conspiracy and two counts of participating in or contributing to a terrorist group. Esseghaier is also facing a fifth terror-related charge. They both pleaded not guilty.
