Lawyers for Sulaiman Abu Ghaith (SOO-lay-mahn AH’-boo GAYTH) filed papers Friday in Manhattan federal court.
Abu Ghaith has been held without bail since he was brought to the United States in March to face charges he conspired to kill Americans. Prosecutors say he carried out the conspiracy in his role as al-Qaida’s spokesman after the Sept. 11 attacks.
His lawyers say he was tortured in U.S. custody during a 14-hour flight from Jordan. They also say the indictment violated their client’s due process rights and failed to specifically describe his role in a conspiracy.
Prosecutors declined to comment on the defense motion.
poor baby
And he will get away with it and charges will be dropped bc our very strong pres of the united states will feel so sorry for him like he does for trayvon martin. Obama will say poor guy I can imagine what it was like my great great great great greaat grandfather was tortured as a slave 300 years ago so let’s just let him free. Well pp that is what the world will be coming to
This human waste piece of filth has no rights!!! He should have know who his Shver was and that he was going ti be drafted on the family business.
Weep weep. Poor me
I’m not surprised. The US gave up all claims to moral authority when it embraced torture.
Unbelievable, he & his cronies attack us & yet he believes in our judicial system & takes us to court! He should be happy he arrived in the country in one piece & not in pieces! I wish the world would wake up & see what the Arabs are all about instead of forcing piece down our Israeli throats!
