WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A Saudi man who is being held at the U.S. military detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, was sentenced on Friday to 13 years in prison on terrorism charges, the Pentagon said in a statement.

The sentencing of Ahmed Mohammed Ahmed Haza al-Darbi follows his guilty plea in February 2014 for his role in an attack on a French oil tanker off the coast of Yemen, the statement said.

As part of a plea deal, al-Darbi agreed to cooperate with the U.S. government, the Pentagon said.

Terrorists should get the death penalty.

Too many of them...and they will just get out and commit more crimes.

We need to put a dent in all these violent vermin on the face of the Earth.
