Federal authorities moved quickly to transfer four convicted followers of Osama bin Laden to a high-security prison in Pennsylvania after they were sentenced last week in the embassy bombings trial. The four terrorists, who received life prison terms last Thursday for conspiring with bin Laden in global terrorism, arrived at the federal penitentiary in Lewisburg, Pa. Last week, government officials said. The terrorism conspiracy included the bombings of the American Embassies in East Africa in 1998, the government said, in which 224 people died. Linda Smith, a spokeswoman for the Bureau of Prisons in Washington, refused to say whether the four men - Wadih El-Hage, 41; Mohammed Saddiq Odeh, 36; Mohamed Rashed Daoud al-'Owhali, 24; and Khalfan Khamis Mohamed, 28 - would remain at Lewisburg, which is in central Pennsylvania, or be moved elsewhere. |
