Salim Hamdan, convicted on Wednesday of aiding terrorism by chauffeuring bin Laden around Afghanistan at the time of the Sept. 11 attacks in 2001, pleaded on Thursday with a military jury to spare him from a life in prison. He apologized for the "innocent people" who died in the attacks and said he worked as Osama bin Laden's driver only because he needed a job. Prosecutors asked for a sentence of no less than 30 years, asking the six Pentagon-appointed jurors to make an example of him.
