Jury infighting reported at terror trial

MIAMI, May 5 (UPI) -- Jurors indicate they are at odds with each other in the Miami trial of six men charged with conspiring with al-Qaida to bomb major U.S. buildings.

The jury of 12 is deciding the fate of the so-called Liberty City Six, charged with conspiring to blow up the Sears Tower in Chicago and the FBI regional office in Miami.

The men were arrested in an FBI sting where an undercover agent represented himself as a member of al-Qaida,The Miami Herald reported.

U.S. District Judge Joan Lenard replaced one juror who fell ill last week and was considering replacing another juror who said she felt physically threatened by her fellow jurors, the newspaper reported Tuesday.

The woman juror failed to show for deliberations Monday, saying the other jurors were making her sick to her stomach. The jury's foreman accused the woman of not cooperating, the Herald reported.

The discord suggested the jurors could be facing a stalemate like the two deadlocked juries in Liberty City Six trials in 2007 and 2008, the newspaper said.
