Terror suspect Mamdouh Mahmud Salim was ordered to serve life in prison Tuesday for a brutal attack that permanently disabled a corrections officer. New York federal Judge Deborah Batts found that a terrorism enhancement under the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines applied to Salim, who plunged a sharpened comb into the man's eye in a bizarre plot to force a judge to assign him new lawyers. The enhancement and the longer sentence were the result of a 2nd Circuit opinion vacating the initial 32-year sentence Batts gave Salim in 2004.
