"Ban word "terrorist" from U.S. trial, lawyer asks"

By Jane Sutton Fri Mar 16, 7:11 PM ET

ARTICLE SNIPPET: "MIAMI (Reuters) - Defense lawyers want the word "terrorist" banned as too inflammatory in the U.S. trial of Jose Padilla and two other men charged with conspiring to aid Islamist extremists overseas.

The word conjures up visions of someone with a bomb belt blowing up himself and others in a crowded cafe, Jeanne Baker, an attorney representing co-defendant Adham Amin Hassoun, said during a hearing in the high-profile case on Friday.

"The word terrorist has nothing to do with this case," Baker said. "The word terrorist is used to label an enemy.""


ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Hassoun, Padilla and co-defendant Kifah Wael Jayyousi are accused of providing recruits and money to mujahideen warriors who conspired to murder, maim and kidnap people in Afghanistan, Chechnya, Bosnia and elsewhere during the 1990s."
