SENTENCED. MOHAMED RASHED DAOUD AL-'OWHALI, 24, Saudi Arabian terrorist convicted on 213 counts of murder in the 1998 bombing of the U.S. embassy in Nairobi, Kenya; to life in prison without parole; in New York City. Al-'Owhali's life was spared after the jury deadlocked on whether to impose the death penalty...
...that she would be kept on at least as long as the trial continued. Guilty verdicts on all 302 counts against the four defendants were handed down May 29, a major coup for White's office. Now the case enters the penalty phase. Two of those convicted, Mohamed Rashed Daoud Al-'Owhali, 24, of Saudi Arabia and Khalfan Khamis Mohamed, 27, of Tanzania, face the death penalty.

Mohammed Rashed Daoud al-'Owhali, who was riding in the truck packed with explosives, was nabbed by FBI agents who had been checking Nairobi hospitals for a suspect who might have come in after the Aug. 7 blast. Mohammed Saddiq Odeh, accused of helping plan the bombing, was delivered by Pakistani police...
...Daoud's life may have imitated art a little too closely. The 47-year-old mayor was charged last week in a 41-count indictment with extorting money and services in exchange for official favors. Federal prosecutors claim that he tapped developers, architects and unions. His most serious offense was an alleged demand of $35,000 from David Paul, former chairman of CenTrust Savings Bank, in return for approval to build a private dock at Paul's home on La Gorce Island. Daoud, who professes his innocence, is the third mayor in Dade County to be indicted or convicted...
