Pentagon approves charges against Guantanamo prisoner |
2008-02-28 |
![]() No trial date was given, but a Pentagon statement said that under the rules of the military tribunals created to try non-U.S. citizens held as part of the Bush administration’s war against terrorism, the accused should be arraigned within 30 days of being notified of their charges. Bahlul traveled to Afghanistan in February 1999 to join al Qaeda, the statement said. “Once a member of al Qaeda, he allegedly served as the personal director and media director of Osama bin Laden,” it said. The charges against Bahlul include conspiracy and solicitation to commit murder and providing material support for terrorism. The charge sheet alleges that he created a recruiting video glorifying the bombing of the USS Cole and other videotapes styled as wills for two of the Sept. 11 hijackers. |
