NY trial of 9/11 suspects tests civilian court path
Attorney General Holder announced moving Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four others from Guantanamo to a lower Manhattan court near the World Trade Center site. The decision raises legal questions over evidence obtained under duress, potential torture claims, and whether the civilian system can secure convictions or faces possible dismissals. The plan aims for a guilty verdict and a death sentence for those behind the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people.
