NEW YORK, Aug 2 — An American truck driver was sentenced to death yesterday for massacring 11 Jewish worshippers five years ago in the deadliest anti-Semitic attack in US history.
The 12-member jury unanimously ruled that Robert Bowers should be executed for the October 27, 2018 mass shooting in Pittsburgh.
