WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A terror suspect detained at the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, will be transported to the United States for trial in a civilian court, two Obama administration officials said.


Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani is shown in a photo posted by the FBI in 2004.


Ahmed Ghailani, suspected of taking part in al Qaeda plots to bomb U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania among other crimes, would be the first former detainee at the detention center to face trial in the United States.

The officials, who did not want to be named because the plan has not been officially announced, said Ghailani will be tried in New York, where trials for international incidents, including previous embassy bombing cases, often are held.

The officials did not say when Ghailani would be transported.

Ghailani has been indicted in New York several times for crimes including the embassy attacks. He was captured in Pakistan in 2004 and transported to Guantanamo in 2006.

In the 1998 bombings, 224 people were killed, including 12 Americans.

The announcement is expected to be made Thursday, the same day President Obama will give a public address on the detention center and other security issues.

Don't Miss
Senate: Don't transfer Gitmo detainees to U.S.
Holder: Suspected terrorists won't be freed in U.S.
The news came on a day that tension mounted between Congress and the Obama administration over the planned closing of Guantanamo.

The U.S. Senate passed a measure Wednesday that would prevent detainees at Guantanamo Bay from being transferred to the United States for now.

The measure passed with overwhelming bipartisan support in a 90-6 vote. A similar amendment has already passed the House. It was attached to a supplemental war funding bill.

Following in the steps of House Democrats, Senate Democrats rejected on Tuesday the administration's request for $80 million to close the Guantanamo facility. They instead asked that President Obama first submit a plan spelling out what the administration will do with the prisoners when it closes the prison.

The announcement is expected to be made Thursday, the same day President Obama will give a public address on the detention center and other security issues.

Senate: Don't transfer Gitmo detainees to U.S.
Holder: Suspected terrorists won't be freed in U.S.
The news came on a day that tension mounted between Congress and the Obama administration over the planned closing of Guantanamo.

The U.S. Senate passed a measure Wednesday that would prevent detainees at Guantanamo Bay from being transferred to the United States for now.

The measure passed with overwhelming bipartisan support in a 90-6 vote. A similar amendment has already passed the House. It was attached to a supplemental war funding bill.

Following in the steps of House Democrats, Senate Democrats rejected on Tuesday the administration's request for $80 million to close the Guantanamo facility. They instead asked that President Obama first submit a plan spelling out what the administration will do with the prisoners when it closes the prison.

Ahmed Ghailani, suspected of taking part in al Qaeda plots to bomb U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania among other crimes, would be the first former detainee at the detention center to face trial in the United States.

The officials, who did not want to be named because the plan has not been officially announced, said Ghailani will be tried in New York, where trials for international incidents, including previous embassy bombing cases, often are held.

Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani is shown in a photo posted by the FBI in 2004.


Ahmed Ghailani, suspected of taking part in al Qaeda plots to bomb U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania among other crimes, would be the first former detainee at the detention center to face trial in the United States.

The officials, who did not want to be named because the plan has not been officially announced, said Ghailani will be tried in New York, where trials for international incidents, including previous embassy bombing cases, often are held.

The officials did not say when Ghailani would be transported.

Ghailani has been indicted in New York several times for crimes including the embassy attacks. He was captured in Pakistan in 2004 and transported to Guantanamo in 2006.

In the 1998 bombings, 224 people were killed, including 12 Americans.

The announcement is expected to be made Thursday, the same day President Obama will give a public address on the detention center and other security issues.

Don't Miss
Senate: Don't transfer Gitmo detainees to U.S.
Holder: Suspected terrorists won't be freed in U.S.
The news came on a day that tension mounted between Congress and the Obama administration over the planned closing of Guantanamo.

The U.S. Senate passed a measure Wednesday that would prevent detainees at Guantanamo Bay from being transferred to the United States for now.

The measure passed with overwhelming bipartisan support in a 90-6 vote. A similar amendment has already passed the House. It was attached to a supplemental war funding bill.

Following in the steps of House Democrats, Senate Democrats rejected on Tuesday the administration's request for $80 million to close the Guantanamo facility. They instead asked that President Obama first submit a plan spelling out what the administration will do with the prisoners when it closes the prison.

All About Guantanamo Bay • U.S. Senate

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A terror suspect detained at the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, will be transported to the United States for trial in a civilian court, two Obama administration officials said.


Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani is shown in a photo posted by the FBI in 2004.


Ahmed Ghailani, suspected of taking part in al Qaeda plots to bomb U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania among other crimes, would be the first former detainee at the detention center to face trial in the United States.

The officials, who did not want to be named because the plan has not been officially announced, said Ghailani will be tried in New York, where trials for international incidents, including previous embassy bombing cases, often are held.

The officials did not say when Ghailani would be transported.

Ghailani has been indicted in New York several times for crimes including the embassy attacks. He was captured in Pakistan in 2004 and transported to Guantanamo in 2006.

In the 1998 bombings, 224 people were killed, including 12 Americans.

The announcement is expected to be made Thursday, the same day President Obama will give a public address on the detention center and other security issues.

Don't Miss
Senate: Don't transfer Gitmo detainees to U.S.
Holder: Suspected terrorists won't be freed in U.S.
The news came on a day that tension mounted between Congress and the Obama administration over the planned closing of Guantanamo.

The U.S. Senate passed a measure Wednesday that would prevent detainees at Guantanamo Bay from being transferred to the United States for now.

The measure passed with overwhelming bipartisan support in a 90-6 vote. A similar amendment has already passed the House. It was attached to a supplemental war funding bill.

Following in the steps of House Democrats, Senate Democrats rejected on Tuesday the administration's request for $80 million to close the Guantanamo facility. They instead asked that President Obama first submit a plan spelling out what the administration will do with the prisoners when it closes the prison.

Dear Mr. Jesus, I just had to write to you

Something really scared me, when I saw it on the news

A story 'bout a little girl beaten black and blue

Jesus, thought I'd take this right to you



Dear Mr. Jesus, I don't understand

Why they took her mom and dad away

I know that they don't mean to hit with wild and angry hands

Tell them just how big they are I pray



Please don't let them hurt your children

We need love and shelter from the storm

Please don't let them hurt your children

Won't you keep us safe and warm



Dear Mr. Jesus, they say that she may die

Oh I hope the doctors stop the pain

I know that you could save her and take her up to the sky

So she would never have to hurt again



Please don't let them hurt your children..



Dear Mr. Jesus, please tell me what to do

And please don't tell my daddy

But my mommy hits me, too.


Please don't let them hurt your children...

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A terror suspect detained at the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, will be transported to the United States for trial in a civilian court, two Obama administration officials said.


Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani is shown in a photo posted by the FBI in 2004.


Ahmed Ghailani, suspected of taking part in al Qaeda plots to bomb U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania among other crimes, would be the first former detainee at the detention center to face trial in the United States.

The officials, who did not want to be named because the plan has not been officially announced, said Ghailani will be tried in New York, where trials for international incidents, including previous embassy bombing cases, often are held.

The officials did not say when Ghailani would be transported.

Ghailani has been indicted in New York several times for crimes including the embassy attacks. He was captured in Pakistan in 2004 and transported to Guantanamo in 2006.

In the 1998 bombings, 224 people were killed, including 12 Americans.

The announcement is expected to be made Thursday, the same day President Obama will give a public address on the detention center and other security issues.

Don't Miss
Senate: Don't transfer Gitmo detainees to U.S.
Holder: Suspected terrorists won't be freed in U.S.
The news came on a day that tension mounted between Congress and the Obama administration over the planned closing of Guantanamo.

The U.S. Senate passed a measure Wednesday that would prevent detainees at Guantanamo Bay from being transferred to the United States for now.

The measure passed with overwhelming bipartisan support in a 90-6 vote. A similar amendment has already passed the House. It was attached to a supplemental war funding bill.

Following in the steps of House Democrats, Senate Democrats rejected on Tuesday the administration's request for $80 million to close the Guantanamo facility. They instead asked that President Obama first submit a plan spelling out what the administration will do with the prisoners when it closes the prison.

The measure passed with overwhelming bipartisan support in a 90-6 vote. A similar amendment has already passed the House. It was attached to a supplemental war funding bill.

Following in the steps of House Democrats, Senate Democrats rejected on Tuesday the administration's request for $80 million to close the Guantanamo facility. They instead asked that President Obama first submit a plan spelling out what the administration will do with the prisoners when it closes the prison.

All About Guantanamo Bay • U.S. Senate

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A terror suspect detained at the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, will be transported to the United States for trial in a civilian court, two Obama administration officials said.


Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani is shown in a photo posted by the FBI in 2004.


Ahmed Ghailani, suspected of taking part in al Qaeda plots to bomb U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania among other crimes, would be the first former detainee at the detention center to face trial in the United States.

The officials, who did not want to be named because the plan has not been officially announced, said Ghailani will be tried in New York, where trials for international incidents, including previous embassy bombing cases, often are held.

The officials did not say when Ghailani would be transported.

Ghailani has been indicted in New York several times for crimes including the embassy attacks. He was captured in Pakistan in 2004 and transported to Guantanamo in 2006.

In the 1998 bombings, 224 people were killed, including 12 Americans.

The announcement is expected to be made Thursday, the same day President Obama will give a public address on the detention center and other security issues.

Ahmed Ghailani, suspected of taking part in al Qaeda plots to bomb U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania among other crimes, would be the first former detainee at the detention center to face trial in the United States.

The officials, who did not want to be named because the plan has not been officially announced, said Ghailani will be tried in New York, where trials for international incidents, including previous embassy bombing cases, often are held.

The officials did not say when Ghailani would be transported.

Ghailani has been indicted in New York several times for crimes including the embassy attacks. He was captured in Pakistan in 2004 and transported to Guantanamo in 2006.

In the 1998 bombings, 224 people were killed, including 12 Americans.

The announcement is expected to be made Thursday, the same day President Obama will give a public address on the detention center and other security issues.

Don't Miss
Senate: Don't transfer Gitmo detainees to U.S.
Holder: Suspected terrorists won't be freed in U.S.
The news came on a day that tension mounted between Congress and the Obama administration over the planned closing of Guantanamo.

The U.S. Senate passed a measure Wednesday that would prevent detainees at Guantanamo Bay from being transferred to the United States for now.

The measure passed with overwhelming bipartisan support in a 90-6 vote. A similar amendment has already passed the House. It was attached to a supplemental war funding bill.

Following in the steps of House Democrats, Senate Democrats rejected on Tuesday the administration's request for $80 million to close the Guantanamo facility. They instead asked that President Obama first submit a plan spelling out what the administration will do with the prisoners when it closes the prison.
