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 Commie frees them.

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?
Had $5 million reward out for his hide.

"Obama sObama shifts FBI from Counter Terrorism to Fraud"
Who in the hell does Obama think he is allowing this man a day in court when he is not even American?
Maybe the young lad reminds Obama so much of HIMSELF.
A jury of inner city Ny’ers could acquit him on “jury nullification”, they’ve done it before.
And he’s going to get an army of better lawyers than anyone reading this regardless of what they would be accused of (unless you’re a billionaire.) :(
