2 Southern California men sentenced for conspiracy to help terrorists kill US troops
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Two Southern California men who were recruited in a scheme to send them to Afghanistan to kill U.S. troops are going to federal prison instead.
The Riverside Press-Enterprise reports (http://bit.ly/1BOerLj ) a judge in Riverside handed down a 10-year sentence Monday to Miguel Santana Vidriales, of Upland. Arifeen Gojali, of Riverside, got five years. They'll both also have a decade of supervised release.
The men were arrested in 2012 as they headed to Mexico to catch a flight to the Middle East. They pleaded guilty to conspiring to provide material support to terrorists and cooperated with prosecutors who said two other men recruited them.
