    The New York Times reports that the government says Ahmad Khan Rahimi gave other inmates access to speeches by Osama bin Laden and Anwar al-Awlaki and materials including bomb-making instructions.

    The allegations came in a letter Friday from the office of Acting U.S. Attorney Joon Kim to Judge Richard Berman.

    Berman is to sentence Rahimi on Jan. 18 after a jury convicted him in October of all the charges against him.

    Prosecutors say the inmates Rahimi shared the materials with included Sajmir Alimehmeti, a Bronx man who has been charged with providing material support to the Islamic State.

    Kill him and problem solved .

    We all know he did it so we don’t even need a trial . Something that’s as obvious as the sun is yellow should not require a trial . And of
    COurse since this yuzel botched and never ended up killing anyone they won’t give him the death penalty in liberal ny . How sad stupid and wasteful

    Sentence him to isolation – since they will not execute him.
