The son-in-law of Osama bin Laden is due to appear in a New York federal court today to face terrorism charges following his extradition from Jordan. Sulaiman Abu Ghaith was reportedly detained by Turkey last month after he crossed over from Iran. Turkish officials apparently rejected Washington’s demands that Abu Ghaith be handed over to U.S. custody. He was instead deported to Kuwait, but U.S. agents seized him during a stopover in Jordan. He is reportedly being charged with conspiracy to kill Americans, although he is not accused of taking part in any plots, including the 9/11 attacks. Abu Ghaith is said to be the most senior al-Qaeda figure to face criminal trial in New York since 9/11.
