Charles Swift, left, and Patrick Blegen, attorneys for Chicago businessman Tahawwur Rana, talk with reporters after a jury returned its verdict in Rana's trial on Thursday, June 9, 2011 in Chicago. A federal jury convicted Rana of helping plot an attack against a Danish newspaper that printed cartoons of the Prophet Muhammad but cleared him of the most serious charge accusing him of cooperating in the deadly 2008 rampage in Mumbai. The jury reached its verdict after two days of deliberations, finding Rana guilty of providing material support to terrorism in Denmark and to the Pakistani militant group that had claimed responsibility for the three-day siege in India's largest city that left more than 160 people dead, including six Americans.
