An appellate court's ruling overturning the "conspiracy" and "material
support for terrorism" charges for Yemeni men alleged to be Osama bin
Laden's propagandist and driver has complicated the prosecutions of
suspected Sept. 11, 2001 plotters, an Obama administration lawyer argued
on Monday.
The war court at Guantanamo Bay found Ali Hamza Ahmad Suliman al-Bahlul guilty of "conspiracy" and "material support for terrorism" in 2008 for making a 90-minute propaganda video for Osama bin Laden as al-Qaida's media secretary.
The D.C. Circuit overturned al-Bahlul's convictions earlier this year in the wake of a series of rulings in the case of Salim Hamdan, another Yemeni man who was bin Laden's driver and bodyguard.
