USA - Man sentenced to 22 years for synagogue terror plot

One of four men accused of plotting from behind bars to attack military sites, synagogues and other targets in California was sentenced to 22 years in federal prison.

Levar Haley Washington, 30, was sentenced by US District Court after pleading guilty last year to conspiring to levy war against the United States and using a firearm to further the conspiracy.

Two co-defendants, Kevin Lamar James and Gregory Patterson, also pleaded guilty to the terrorism conspiracy charge and will be sentenced later this summer. A fourth man, Hammad Samana, was found unfit to stand trial and is being treated in a federal psychiatric facility.
