NEW YORK (Reuters) - A U.S. judge on Wednesday briefly delayed the upcoming trial of a son in law of Osama bin Laden on terrorism-related charges so his lawyers could submit written questions to accused September 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.
U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan in Manhattan postponed jury selection from February 24 to March 3 after agreeing to a deal between the U.S. government and lawyers for Suleiman Abu Ghaith to allow the submission of hundreds of questions to Mohammed. Mohammed is being held at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
