He was tried in New York City in the [[wikipedia:United States District Court for the Southern District of New York|U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York]] and along with two co-conspirators was convicted of planning the Bojinka plot. Yousef stated: "Yes, I am a terrorist, and proud of it as long as it is against the U.S. government and against Israel, because you are more than terrorists; you are the one who invented terrorism and using it every day. You are butchers, liars and hypocrites." He was sentenced to two life sentences for his part in the World Trade Center bombing and Bojinka plot.

In 2005, the ADX Florence (where he is housed today) stated that Yousef had given up Islam and converted to Christianity, though many doubt his sincerity.
