The three Minnesota men found guilty of conspiring to join the Islamic State showed little emotion upon hearing the verdicts, even though they now face life in prison.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The men were convicted Friday on a variety of charges, the most serious of which was conspiracy to commit murder overseas. That's the charge that carries a possible life sentence.
Twenty-one-year-old Guled Ali Omar, 22-year-old Abdirahman Yasin Daud (Ahb-DEER'-ah-mahn YAH'-sin Dah-OOD') and 22-year-old Mohamed Abdihamid Farah will be sentenced at a later date.
Though the three men were stoic, at least two people sitting in a row reserved for family left the courtroom in tears after the verdict was read.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The men were convicted after a three-week trial and jury deliberations over three days.

{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Three Minnesota men accused of plotting to go to Syria to join the Islamic State group have been convicted of conspiracy to commit murder overseas.
Twenty-one-year-old Guled Ali Omar, 22-year-old Abdirahman Yasin Daud (Ahb-DEER'-ah-mahn YAH'-sin Dah-OOD') and 22-year-old Mohamed Abdihamid Farah were convicted of the most serious charges on Friday.
Conspiracy to commit murder overseas carries the possibility of life in prison.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The three are among 10 young men accused in the conspiracy. Six have pleaded guilty and a seventh is believed to be in Syria.
Prosecutors built their case largely on recordings made by a friend of the men who became a paid informant. Defense attorneys argued that comments on the records were youthful bluster, and family and friends have protested what they call entrapment.
