ANKARA
A British national was sentenced on Thursday to life in prison, with a minimum of 38 years, for killing a U.S. soldier in a roadside bombing in Iraq.
Anis Sardar, 38, was found guilty of building a roadside bomb that killed Sergeant First Class Randy Johnson in Iraq in September 2007.
The prosecution at Woolwich Crown Court, southeast London, said he built the bombs in neighboring Syria during the same year, the BBC said.
Sardar, a taxi driver from Wembley, northwest London, was arrested after the FBI found his fingerprints on some of the bombs.
The case is unusual as the crime took place outside the U.K. and all the evidence was gathered in Iraq.
As a British national, Sardar was able to be put on trial in Britain.
