Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, a former spokesman of al-Qaeda and son-in-law of Osama bin Laden, was detained in Turkey and has been sent to United States. Sulaiman Abu Ghaith will now face trial at New York court.
According to a statement released by Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) said, “I commend our CIA and FBI, our allies in Jordan, and President Obama for their capture of al-Qaeda spokesman Sulaiman Abu Ghaith..I trust he received a vigorous interrogation, and will face swift and certain justice. The propaganda statements in which Abu Ghaith and his late father-in-law, Usama bin Laden, praised the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 are alone enough to merit the most serious punishment.”
Kuwait born, Sulaiman Abu Ghaith who married Osama bin Laden’s daughter, was house arrested in Iran for the last few years. He was handed over to U.S. custody in Jordan after being detained in Turkey.
