“”Only jihad by word and pen is left...Blood, blood, destruction, destruction””

GUANTANAMO BAY U.S. NAVAL BASE, Cuba (Reuters) -

ARTICLE SNIPPET: “Cowhig read from Bahlul’s journal, which was seized in Afghanistan, and from letters he said Bahlul wrote from Guantanamo to al Qaeda leaders, lamenting that he could not join the September 11 hijackers he hailed as heroes.

...”Only jihad by word and pen is left,” he quoted Bahlul as writing.

“I am an officer of al Qaeda,” he quoted him as writing elsewhere. “Blood, blood, destruction, destruction.”

Bahlul also is accused of scripting the videotaped wills of his former roommates, September 11 hijackers Mohamed Atta and Ziad al Jarrah. He set up a satellite link so bin Laden could hear news reports of those attacks on his laptop computer, but couldn’t get the audio portion to work, Cowhig said....”

IMMEDIATE RELEASE No. 888-08
October 21, 2008
Victim and Family Members To See Military Commissions Proceedings at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba

The Defense Department announced today that victims of terrorist attacks and family members who lost loved ones to those attacks will be able to attend military commission proceedings at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

“The Department of Defense recognizes the tragic loss and suffering that victims and family members of terrorist attacks have experienced,” said Gordon England, deputy secretary of defense. “Soon, some of those victim families will have the opportunity to see first-hand the fair, open and just trials of those alleged to have perpetrated these horrific acts.”

U.S. Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, is an active military base with minimal visitor housing and limited transportation support. In order to be fair to all interested victims and family members, the Office of Military Commissions will use random number generation software to select five people at a time to see military commission proceedings. Each person selected may be accompanied by one family member, if desired.

In addition, the Department of Defense, with the support of the Department of Justice, is establishing closed circuit television sites in the United States for victim and family members to watch future trial proceedings.
