From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

A judge today found a Canadian suspect guilty of being involved in a plot to bomb British targets in 2004.

Justice Douglas Rutherford convicted Momim Khawaja of collaborating with a group of British Muslims in a plan to bomb British buildings and natural gas pipelines.

Five co-conspirators were convicted in London last year and jailed for life.

Khawaja, a Pakistani-born Canadian, is the first person to be charged with a terrorist offence in Canada since the country enacted anti-terrorism laws in 2001.

His case was considered to be the first major test of the laws.
