Informant: 3 accused in plot to attack US troops met together just once in two years

The key witness against three men accused of plotting to kill American soldiers says the three defendants met together just once during a two-year period.

Darren Griffin is an undercover informant who investigated the men in Toledo, Ohio for two years.

He's the key witness in the government's case against Mohammad Amawi, Marwan El-Hindi and Wassim Mazloum.

They're charged with conspiring to kill or maim people outside the United States, including U.S. military personnel in Iraq.

Defense attorneys Wednesday got a chance to question Griffin.

The men have pleaded not guilty.

If convicted, the three face a maximum penalty of life in prison.
