Government Wins Conviction in Second Gitmo Trial

(AP/Canadian Press, Janet Hamlin) Just in this morning: Faced, literally, with no opposition, U.S. military prosecutors have won a conviction in the second war-crimes trial at Guantanamo Bay. Ali Hamza al-Bahlul, who stood accused of making propaganda videos for al Qaeda and was charged with conspiracy, solicitation to commit murder and supporting terrorism, was convicted this morning by a military jury, according to an early AP report. Bahlul, a Yemeni, instructed his lawyers to mount no defense over the course of his trial, which ended Friday. Each count carries a possible sentence of life in prison. Sentencing was to immediately follow the announcement of the verdict. Last edited by top_admin : Nov 3rd, 2008 at 02:27 PM. |
