IS supporter found guilty of killing UK lawmaker David Amess

LONDON (AP) — A jury in London has found a fervent Islamic State supporter guilty of stabbing U.K. Conservative lawmaker David Amess to death and plotting to attack other lawmakers. The jury deliberated for just 18 minutes Monday to find Ali Harbi Ali guilty of murder and preparing terrorist acts. The 26-year-old carried out the attack at the veteran lawmaker’s office on Oct. 15 last year. He had defended his actions by saying that Amess deserved to die as a result of voting for airstrikes on Syria in 2014 and 2015. Amess, 69, had been a member of Parliament since 1983. He was pronounced dead at the scene
