“He deserves this. I gave him a lot of chances to back away and he never took (them),” Osama Eldawoody tells the CBS News Investigative Unit in an exclusive interview. Eldawoody was the lead informant in the Herald Square bombing case, one of only a handful of post-9/11 terror cases in the U.S. that have lead to a jury conviction.

Eldawoody told CBS that after the sentence came down he was called by NYPD Police Commissioner Ray Kelly.
