**A judge in Seattle has sentenced to life a man who killed one person and injured five in an attack on a Jewish centre in the city in July 2006.**Naveen Haq had been found guilty in December of aggravated murder and attempted murder.
His defence had argued that mental illness had been to blame for the attack and had kept him from understanding what he was doing.
The shooting has been described as Washington state’s worst hate crime.
In July 2006, Mr Haq burst into the offices of the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle saying he was an American Muslim angered by Israel.
Holding a teenager at gunpoint, he opened fire, killing fundraising director Pamela Waechter as she tried to flee.
He gave himself for arrest without a struggle, police said at the time.
Mr Haq’s first trial had ended in 2008 with the jurors deadlocked on whether he was legally insane at the time of the killing.
At his second trial in December the jury rejected his defence that he was not guilty by reason of insanity.
At the sentencing in Seattle, Judge Paris Kallas heard from victims and their supporters, including Ms Waechter’s daughter, Nicole.
She said her mother “would have wanted her friends and family to move on and keep laughing”, according to the Associated Press news agency.
