WASHINGTON (AFP) – The United States has obtained more than 400 convictions in international terrorism cases since the attacks of September 11, 2001, documents released by the Department of Justice showed Friday.

The tally comes amid debate in Congress on administration plans to try suspected terrorists held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba in US courts, which has drawn vehement Republican opposition.

A chart maintained by the National Security Division (NSD) of the Department of Justice since the 2001 attacks on New York and Washington shows that 403 people have been convicted for planning or committing international terrorist attacks.

Life sentences were imposed in 12 of the cases, and 59 of the convictions carried prison terms of more than 10 years, Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich said in a letter sent to lawmakers along with the list.
