Qaeda suspect taken from Guantanamo to New York 11 mins ago

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – An al Qaeda suspect accused in the 1998 U.S. Embassy bombings in Africa was transferred from Guantanamo Bay to appear in a New York court on Tuesday, the Justice Department said.

Ahmed Ghailani will become the first Guantanamo detainee to go on trial in a civilian U.S. court. He was to make an appearance in federal court in Manhattan later in the day, the department said in a statement.

Ghailani, a Tanzanian who had been held at the U.S. naval base in Cuba since September 2006, arrived in New York early Tuesday under escort from the U.S. Marshals Service.

The Justice Department said he faced 286 counts, including conspiring with Osama bin Laden and other members of al Qaeda to kill Americans anywhere in the world, and separate charges of murder for the deaths of each of the 224 people killed in the August 7, 1998, U.S. Embassy bombings in Tanzania and Kenya

Obammie the Muslim Commie frees them.
Note: If anyone wants to show me proof that Obama became an apostate by renouncing Islam and converting to Christianity (e.g. a baptismal certificate), I'll retract the accusation that he's Islam's Manchurian candidate.

Was a time when this scum was wanted for MURDER OF U.S. NATIONALS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES; CONSPIRACY TO MURDER U.S. NATIONALS OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES; ATTACK ON A FEDERAL FACILITY RESULTING IN DEATH. Now, since Hussein 0bama has deciced to come out of the closet as a closet Mooselum, the gentleman get a "fair trial" in which his Mooselum roots will be his main defense. After all, America is no longer a Christian nation and one of the largest Mooselum nations in the world. Isn't hope and change great?
