Military prosecutors charge Bin Laden lieutenant with murder
[LATIMES] After seven years in jug at Guantanamo Bay, a former top Al Qaeda commander and confidant of the late Osama bin Laden
... who is now sometimes referred to as Mister Bones ...
was arraigned Wednesday by U.S. military authorities there, pushing his case into the troubled military tribunal system.
Abdul Hadi al-Iraqi faces non-capital murder charges for his suspected role in a series of high-profile terrorist attacks. If convicted, he could be imprisoned for life.
Prosecutors say Hadi spent nearly two decades running Al Qaeda training camps and orchestrating assaults in Pakistain and Afghanistan. They say he sat at Bin Laden's side when Al Qaeda snuffies hijacked four U.S. passenger planes and killed nearly 3,000 people on Sept. 11, 2001.
