Jury convicts man of killing 2 men in Phoenix

PHOENIX (AP) -

A man who killed his sister's husband and another man in north Phoenix has been convicted of two counts of first-degree murder.

Maricopa County prosecutors say 41-year-old Haider Abdullah faces life in prison on each count when he's sentenced next month.

Prosecutors say Abdullah shot Mohammad Mzeal to death in April 2009 because he was enraged Mzeal had called his sister and told her he had been at a strip club.

The sister had confronted Abdullah about his behavior, telling him it was inappropriate and contrary to their Muslim faith.

After shooting Mzeal behind a Safeway store at 35th and Northern, Abdullah drove to his sister's house and yelled for her husband to come outside.

He then shot the husband, Ayad Mizel.

Abdullah was captured in Salinas two days later.
