US: Yemeni terror suspect made videos glorifying al-Qaida
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
A Yemeni detainee made videos glorifying al-Qaida's attacks to lure new recruits and was so close to Osama bin Laden the two were holed up together in an Afghanistan hideout on the day of the September 11 attacks, a military prosecutor said Tuesday.
One of Ali Hamza al-Bahlul's videos depicted the 2000 suicide bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen and was shown at terrorist training camps in Afghanistan to inspire recruits, Army Maj. Daniel Cowhig, lead prosecutor in the second Guantanamo war crimes trial, said in opening statements.
The trial is the second for the Pentagon's specially designed system for prosecuting alleged terrorists.
The first - for bin Laden's former driver, Salim Hamdan - ended in August with a conviction and a 5 1/2-year sentence.
