A US Jury has decided that 11 September conspirator Zacarias Moussaoui should spend the rest of his life in prison instead of being executed for his role in the hijacked airliner attacks.
Moussaoui, the only person convicted in the United States in connection with the deadly attacks, is to be sentenced tomorrow by a federal judge.
Federal prosecutors had asked the jury to sentence Moussaoui to death.
But jurors, who spent about 41 hours deliberating before reaching the verdict, were divided on whether he should be executed.
Earlier this month the same jury of nine men and three women found Moussaoui eligible for the death penalty.
The jury verdict followed a second, two-week phase of the sentencing trial.
