Here’s a case of poetic justice:

FORT BRAGG, N.C. – Sgt. Hasan Akbar was sentenced to die Thursday night for a grenade and rifle attack that killed Army Capt. Christopher Scott Seifert and an Air Force officer and wounded 14 others.

Helen Seifert, of Williams Township, began to weep as she watched the man who killed her son chained and led away from the courtroom.

On March 23, 2003, Akbar rolled hand grenades into three tents and shot at troops that ran out at Camp Pennsylvania, Kuwait, while the troops prepared to invade Iraq. One of the soldiers he shot was Seifert, who died shortly thereafter.

Seifert’s widow, Theresa, issued a statement after Akbar’s sentence was read. She said the Seifert family was satisfied with the verdict but was “painfully aware” that neither Seifert nor Stone would return to their families.

“For those of us fortunate enough to have known Chris, he will always be remembered as a generous soul, a man of quiet strength and a hero. His friendship was an inspiration, his love a blessing,” she said.

Yet he continues his murderous agenda, grabbing a sharp instrument just last month and used it on an MP who was guarding him.

Akbar took a sharp item from an office where he was meeting with lawyers and attacked the M-P who was assigned to escort him to the men’s room.

The judge dismissed it (as an “opportunistic stabbing”-whatever THAT is) and didn’t allow it to be admitted into evidence in court.
