Mohammed Jabateh, a 51-year-old father of five and owner of a Philadelphia-based international shipping company, is the first person found guilty of crimes tied to the numerous documented atrocities that occurred during the protracted, multi-faction civil war that ravaged Liberia between 1989 and 1997. Until now, no one had even been prosecuted in connection with that conflict, which left more than 250,000 dead in a nation no larger than Tennessee.
