   WASHINGTON -- A California jury has convicted Keith Henson, a
   prominent critic of Scientology, of terrorizing the group through
   Usenet posts and by picketing one of its offices.
   
   Henson, a computer engineer who has been involved in prior legal
   skirmishes with Scientology, was found guilty on Thursday of
   interfering with Scientologists' civil rights and now faces a prison
   sentence of up to one year and a fine of up to $5,000.

   The charges revolved around posts Henson made in the
   alt.religion.scientology newsgroup about targeting a nuclear missile
   at Scientologists, and Henson's picketing of the group's Golden Era
   Productions in Riverside, California.
