A guilty verdict in the Manhattan terror trial of a man involved in the deadly bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa was announced Thursday.

Jurors found Khaled al-Fawwaz guilty of four counts of conspiracy for his role in planning the attacks.

Prosecutors say al-Fawwaz was a close confidant of Osama bin Laden. They say the 52-year-old also led an al-Qaeda training camp in Afghanistan in the early 1990s.

The August 1998 embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania killed 224 people, including a dozen Americans.
