FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - After back-to-back mistrials, five men from one of Miami's poorest neighborhoods were convicted Tuesday of trying to join with al-Qaida in plots to topple Chicago's Sears Tower and bomb government buildings in South Florida.
Though a sixth man was acquitted in the terrorism sting operation, the verdict allows federal prosecutors to claim overall victory in a Bush-era case that dragged on for years and cost millions of taxpayer dollars.
