Pautsch, 20, from Davenport, Iowa, was one of five soldiers killed by a truck bomb on April 10, 2009.NEW YORK — A federal judge on Tuesday sentenced a Canadian man to 26 years in U.S.
Johnson said she had been “appalled” by the plea offer in the case, adding it seemed to her that “someone felt my son wasn’t worth fighting for.” ‘Isa’s actions warranted a significant prison term, the judge added, but one less severe than the life sentence called for under the federal sentencing guidelines. She noted the government faced logistical hurdles, such as locating witnesses abroad, and the risk of acquittal should ‘Isa have chosen to stand trial on terrorism charges.
‘Isa, a Canadian citizen and Iraqi national, was arrested in 2011 on a U.S. warrant after an investigation by authorities in New York, Canada and Tunisia.
