March 19, 2014
A US judge blocked America's most high-profile terror detainee today from testifying in a New York courtroom to defend Osama bin Laden's son-in-law. 

"I have considered this very carefully. It's much ado about nothing. It's not admissible," Judge Lewis Kaplan told the southern district court in Manhattan. Suleiman Abu Ghaith, who married bin Laden's daughter Fatima, is on trial for conspiracy to kill Americans, conspiracy to support and supporting terrorists.
