NEW YORK (Reuters) - The New Jersey man found guilty last year of planting two homemade bombs in Manhattan's Chelsea neighbourhood, one of which wounded 30 people, has tried to radicalise fellow inmates with Islamic State and al Qaeda propaganda, U.S. prosecutors said on Tuesday.
Ahmad Khan Rahimi, 29, faces a mandatory life sentence under federal law after being convicted in October of eight counts, including using a weapon of mass destruction and bombing a public place. His sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 13.
