MIAMI (AP) - A jury in Miami has acquitted 1 of 7 defendants charged with plotting to destroy Chicago's Sears Tower and wage war against the U.S. A mistrial has been declared for the remaining six after the federal jury deadlocked.

Federal prosecutors say the government plans to retry the six next year. The federal judge set a January seventh date to start picking a new jury.

The jury gave up on the others after nine days of deliberations, following a nearly two-month trial. The jury twice sent notes to the judge saying they couldn't reach verdicts but were told to keep trying. The mistrial came after their third note.

Prosecutors say the "Liberty City Seven" swore allegiance to al-Qaida and hoped to forge an alliance to carry out bombings against America's tallest skyscraper, the FBI's Miami office and other federal buildings.

The group never actually made contact with al-Qaida. Instead, a paid FBI informant posed as an al-Qaida emissary.

1. Why are they wasting our money retrying these guys? This

case was bullshit, they got their diversion (I can't even remember what from anymore).

[malaise]

2. It was Bushit from day one

Enough already. :puke:

3. Terror must be promoted. Fear must be pounded onto America.

Millions of Tax Dollars need to be wasted on this.

5. True and MSM promotes the Bushit but does not report

when it fizzles out like a damp squib. That Miami plot was 100% Bushit.
