The jury reached its verdict Thursday after deliberating for more than a day.
The verdict against Mohammad Omar Aly Hassan, Ziyad Yaghi and Hysen Sherifi was reached after a month-long trial. The three were found guilty on all counts except Hassan, who was found not guilty of one count.
Prosecutors say the men were part of a small group based near Raleigh that planned to carry out jihadist attacks against the U.S. military and targets in other countries.
Three other men arrested in 2009 in connection with the plot pleaded guilty earlier this year.
