REUTERS-The imprisonment of the former chef of Osama bin Laden, held at Guantanamo, was reduced Wednesday from 14 to two years under an agreement with American justice, says the Pentagon.
This reduction of sentence was expected since al Qosi Ibrahim, who was also a bodyguard for bin Laden, has agreed in July to plead guilty in court of the U.S. naval base in Cuba in charge of war crimes.
The Sudanese, who met with the leader of Al Qaeda in its home country before following in Afghanistan, admitted helping him escape U.S. forces in the mountains of Tora Bora in 2001.
His sentence to 14 years imprisonment imposed in August did not include the eight and a half years he spent in Guantanamo.
According to Lieutenant-Colonel Tanya Bradsher, spokesman for the Pentagon, he pledged to give up any activity or complicity of activity hostile to the United States and its allies.
