Lindh to be tried in civilian court for Taliban ties
John Walker Lindh, the 20 year old Californian who joined the Taliban, faces conspiracy to kill U.S. citizens charges and could receive life in prison. The Bush administration chose a civilian trial over a military one and Lindh is to be transferred from a naval ship to U.S. District Court in Alexandria Virginia for proceedings. He acknowledged meeting Osama bin Laden in FBI interviews and Ashcroft says Lindh chose terrorists, not the other way around. The indictment includes providing support to terrorist organizations and engaging in prohibited Taliban transactions.
