A Lebanese national was sentenced to life in prison Tuesday by a Manhattan federal judge for his role in establishing a terror training camp and operating a terrorist Web site, officials said. Oussama Abdullah Kassir, 43, who was also identified as a Swedish citizen, was handed the life term by U.S. District Court Judge John Keenan.

Kassir was convicted in May following a four-week trial in which prosecutors presented evidence that he and associates conspired to set up a terror training camp in Bly, Ore.
