November 13th, 2009 - 9:42 pm ICT by IANS ( Leave a comment )Washington, Nov 13 (DPA) The US Justice Department was to announce Friday that the main suspect in the Sep 11, 2001, attacks will be tried before a US civilian court, National Public Radio reported.
The alleged mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, as well as four additional alleged accomplices, are currently being held in the controversial Guantanamo Bay detention camp on Cuba.
They had been prosecuted by a military commission there, which President Obama, who is trying to close Guantanamo, had put on hold.
The trial, to take place in close proximity to the World Trade Center site in New York, would be by far the largest and most dramatic terrorism trial in US history.
