An illegal immigrant already serving life in prison for killing a man with a pipe bomb explosion outside the Luxor in 2007 has been convicted of another bombing several months earlier, court officials said Friday.
A Clark County District Court jury found Porfirio Duarte-Herrera, 31, guilty of attempted murder, bomb making, bomb possession and destruction of property in the Halloween 2006 blast that destroyed a parked pickup outside a Home Depot in Las Vegas. He could face five to 56 more years in prison. S entencing is June 21.
The defense intends to appeal.
