Defense Opens In Trial Of Bin Laden’s Son-In-Law; Judge To Rule If KSM Testimony Can Be Used

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) – The defense opened its case Monday in the terrorism trial of Osama bin Laden’s son-in-law at Manhattan federal court.

As WCBS 880?s Irene Cornell reported, a pair of FBI agents were the first witnesses called by the defense on Monday.

The agents testified that they first met Sulaiman Abu Ghaith a year ago on the tarmac in Jordan as he stood beside the plane that would fly him to New York to stand trial.

Meantime, the self-described mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks said a onetime Osama bin Laden spokesman who is on trial in New York had no role in planning military operations for al Qaeda.
