Student found guilty in Houston Taliban case
Copyright 2007 Houston Chronicle
Syed Maaz Shah, a Dallas student who was linked to a Houston-based Taliban conspiracy, was found guilty this afternoon on two weapons violations.
A 12-member jury found that Shah, 19, unlawfully possessed a firearm while in the country on a student visa. He was charged in connection with a terrorist plot to aid the Taliban.
The Pakistan-born student attending the University of Texas at Dallas on scholarship was not allowed to have a firearm because his visa had expired.
His sentencing is scheduled for Sept. 14.
