US Army PFC Naser Abdo has been sentenced to more than two life terms (with no possibility of parole) by a federal court for his plan to kill fellow Soldiers in the cause of “jihad.”  Abdo “remained defiant” even during his sentencing:

“I will continue until the day the dead are called to account for their deeds,” Abdo said in a low, gravelly voice through the cloth mask.

He was reportedly wearing the mask because he had been spitting blood on federal agents — blood he incorrectly believed, for some reason, to be infected with HIV.

In court, Abdo referred to Maj. Nidal Hasan — the Army psychiatrist soon to be tried in a deadly shooting rampage at that Army post — as “my brother.” He said he lived in Hasan’s shadow despite “efforts to outdo him…”

In a police interview, Abdo said he wanted to carry out the attack because he didn’t “appreciate what (his) unit did in Afghanistan.”

No reports have yet publicized how the US Army is going to handle his likely discharge.

Michael Weinstein, who frequently criticizes Christians in the military for mixing their religious beliefs with their military service, has said almost nothing about Abdo — with whom he personally spoke — since Weinstein’s 2011 quote that he “never felt good about him.”

Abdo is one of 12 attempted or successful attacks on the US military by those apparently motivated by their Islamic faith, four of whom were actually members of the US military:

• Fort Hood attack thwarted, PFC Abdo, two life sentences (2011)
• Shots fired at Pentagon, other military bldgs (Marine Reservist Yonathan Melaku, 2010)
• Fort Hood massacre kills 14 (Army Maj Hasan, 2009)
• Fragging in Kuwait by Army Sgt Hasan Akbar (2003) (death sentence on appeal)

And:

• Pipe bomb attack thwarted (Jose Pimentel, 2011)
• Remote control airplane Pentagon attack thwarted (Rezwan Ferdaus convicted, 2011)
• Seattle recruiting station attack thwarted (2011)
• Frankfurt airport attack kills 2 US Airmen (Arid Uka, 2011, life sentence)
• Baltimore recruiting center bomb thwarted (Antonio Martinez, 2010, 25-year sentence)
• Quantico attack by Raleigh jihadists thwarted (6 multi-decade prison sentences, 2009)
• Arkansas recruiting station attack by Abdulhakim Muhammad (2009, life without parole)
• Fort Dix attack thwarted (2007) (6 convictions, 4 life sentences)
