Rezwan Ferdaus, who famously plotted to fly remote controlled planes into the Pentagon, pled guilty to terrorism related charges and was recently sentenced to 17 years in prison. 

Ferdaus delivered a long, soft-spoken statement…in which he offered no apology for his actions but thanked his family and friends for supporting him. He said he has accepted his fate and can “dream of a brighter future.”

Ferdaus 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)
