Holder: Bin Laden’s Son-in-Law Won’t Be Tried Here
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder says the successful prosecution of Osama bin Laden’s son-in-law won’t lead to a new effort to send the self-professed mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks to New York for trial.
Holder congratulated the trial team that prosecuted Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, al-Qaida’s spokesman after the attacks. But he told reporters the prosecution won’t clear the way for Khalid Sheik Mohammed to be brought to Manhattan because the decision to try him before a military tribunal won’t be revisited.
Holder met with prosecutors nearly a week after a jury convicted Abu Ghaith of conspiring to kill Americans and aiding al-Qaida.
Holder says the conviction of the 48-year-old Kuwaiti imam puts the political debate to rest over where terrorism suspects should face trial.
