ROCHESTER, N.Y. (AP) - A Palestinian immigrant avoided prison time Tuesday for failing to tell the FBI about his brother's written vow to become a suicide bomber in Israel.
Mohammad Subeh, a 43-year-old grocery store owner who pleaded guilty to a felony count of concealing a material fact from the FBI, was placed on probation for a year and fined $250.
"The atmosphere is bad," Subeh said in an interview after drawing a minimum sentence. "This is fear of a terrorist situation. If it wasn't for Sept. 11, there was no case actually."
