Sudbury man to be sentenced on terrorism charge

BOSTON (AP) -- Prosecutors are set to make their sentencing recommendation for a Massachusetts man convicted of conspiring to help al-Qaida.

Tarek Mehanna of Sudbury was convicted in December of traveling to Yemen to seek training in a terrorist camp. His lawyers say he shouldn't be sentenced to more than 6 1/2 years in prison.

He will be sentenced on Thursday.
