A federal appeals court ruled his 28-year term — handed down earlier this year — is still too lenient, sending it back for a new sentencing. The judges emphasized the planned, deadly nature of the attack and noted Khatallah’s regret wasn’t for the deaths, but that not everyone was killed. This isn’t the first time his sentence has been challenged — a 2018 ruling called his 22-year sentence “shockingly” light. The case, already a political flashpoint in Washington over Obama-era security failures, will now return to the district court for a likely longer sentence.
