Ahmed Ressam is an Algerian al-Quaeda member who lived for a time in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Later known as the Millenium Bomber, he was convicted in 2001 of planning to bomb the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on New Year's Eve 1999, as part of the foiled 2000 millenium attack plots. In 2005 he was sentenced to 22 years in prison, after cooperating with the government in testifying about al-Quaeda and associated terrorist networks. In 2007, a divided panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit in Seattle reversed Ressame's conviction on one of the charges, due to the majority's reading of the applicable law. The U.S. Supreme Court overturned the Ninth Circuit in an 8-1 decision on May 19, 2008, restoring the original convictions and sentence. On February 2, 2010, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Ressam's 22-year sentence was too lenient, and the appellate court ordered that Ressam be re-sentenced by a different district court judge from the one who had handed down the original sentence. In October 2012, Ressam was re-sentenced to 37 years imprisonment and his serving his sentence at the maximum security prison in Colorado, ADX Florence.
