A jury in Florida has convicted five men for plotting to blow up the Sears Tower in Chicago and bomb FBI offices across the United States.



Most of the men are said to be from Haiti.



A sixth man was acquitted.



It was the third time the case had gone to trial since the men were arrested three years ago.



Two previous juries had failed to reach a verdict.



Officials say the men will be sentenced in July.
