Bin Laden's son-in-law faces new charges
Source: Al jazeera
US prosecutors have added two new charges to an indictment against Osama bin Laden's son-in-law, Suleiman Abu Ghaith, who stands accused of conspiring to kill Americans.
A superseding indictment filed with the US District Court in Manhattan on Friday alleges that Abu Ghaith also provided material support and resources to terrorists and conspired to do so.
The indictment details a 2002 speech in which Abu Ghaith, who once served as a spokesman for al-Qaeda, allegedly praised the 9/11 attacks in the United States and warned that more strikes were coming.
"We were also granted victory when the world saw with its very own eyes what the mujahidin did for the sake of God the Almighty in New York and Washington," Abu Ghaith allegedly said.

(9,453 posts)captured by the Turkish government and brought here in March. All the info is on the internet.
When the interrogation was complete, Turkey would not hand over Abu Ghaith to the United States directly because he would face the death penalty here. Quietly, an arrangement was made to have him flown to Jordan where an FBI Gulfstream 5 was waiting with a team of agents. Abu Ghaith was flown last Friday, March 1, to Stewart Air Force Base outside New York City and brought to the Metropolitan Correctional Facility to await his arraignment on charges of conspiring to kill Americans.
