NEW YORK, Jan 8 (Reuters) - A Pakistani immigrant convicted of plotting to detonate a bomb in New York City's Herald Square subway station was sentenced in a U.S. federal court on Monday to 30 years in prison.

A jury found Shahawar Matin Siraj guilty in May of scheming to blow up the midtown Manhattan station located below a thriving shopping district -- that includes Macy's department store -- and just a block from the Empire State Building.
