PORTLAND, Ore. (Reuters) - A former software engineer who stunned friends and co-workers by admitting he tried to fight U.S. troops in Afghanistan drew a seven-year jail sentence in federal court on Monday after apologizing for his role.
"I regret my actions," Maher "Mike" Hawash, a 39-year-old former Intel Corp. employee, told the courtroom. "I wish to ask forgiveness from my family for the pain I have caused them, and to my friends, my friends in the community and in the United States."
