Convicted Terrorist, Former Charleston Prisoner to be Resentenced

A member of al-Qaida who was behind a terrorism plot that never materialized in Chicago who was held in a Charleston Navy brig for three years before being charged will soon have a new day in court.

Jose Padilla is currently serving a 17-year sentence for terrorist support and conspiracy, but federal officials have won a resentencing, which will be held Dec. 3.

Padilla has alleged numerous times that he was tortured while being held at Charleston's Navy base as an enemy combatant prior to indictment.

He currently is held in a Supermax facility in Colorado.
