What's the price of cooking up tasty meals for the most wanted man in the world? Fourteen years, according to a Guantanamo Bay tribunal that has just sentenced the terrorist mastermind's former cook and driver.
Ibrahim Al-Qosi is a native Sudanese who was employed by Osama Bin Laden and he was detained in 2001. He has been awaiting hearing ever since amid swirls of speculation as to what specifically he did as a chauffeur and chef and whether or not these duties implicate him in aiding terror.
As the BBC reports it, Qosi was captured in the mountains of Afghanistan among the al-Qaeda hideout region known as Tora Bora.
Qosi's confession of wrongdoing capped off his years-long detainment in Guantanamo Bay. The Sudanese man finally allegedly admitted to having knowledge of al-Qaeda's nefarious activities despite his previous insistence that he merely cooked and drove.
The U.S. military tribunal has sentenced him to 14 years in prison for his involvement in anti-American activities.
Qosi is only the 4th of some 800-plus detainees at the facilities since 2001 to be convicted.
