| Reputed al-Qaeda operative to represent himself at US trial |
| 2015-02-17 |
| [Ynet] A reputed al-Qaeda operative has decided to act as his own attorney at a US terrorism trial. Abid Naseer is expected to give an opening statement Tuesday in federal court in New York City. The Pak defendant has pleaded not guilty "Wudn't me." to charges he was part of a conspiracy in 2009 to bomb a mall in Manchester, England, and the subways in New York City. Prosecutors say the trial will feature evidence seized during the Navy SEAL raid in 2011 that left the late Osama bin Laden ... who is now beyond all cares and woe... dead. The jury also will hear testimony from undercover British intelligence officers who have been given permission to take the witness stand in disguises to conceal their identities. |

| #1 A bullet is much quicker and less costly. The guy deserves a firing squad and not a trial. |
