What terrorists want more than anything else is publicity, and a sure way to give them lots of that is to execute this guy. It's true that he might be exaggerating his involvement in order to increase his notoriety, and killing him will make it worse.

That's the trouble with the death penalty - it's just all about revenge, which is ugly. It makes everyone as bad as each other. Just let this guy rot in jail and he'll be forgotten - the worst punishment for an attention-seeking terrorist.
