Brother-in-law of 9/11 hijacker charged
WASHINGTON - The Pentagon on Friday brought terrorism- related charges against the brother-in-law of one of the September 11, 2001 hijackers. Ahmed Mohammed Ahmed Haza Al Darbi, from Saudi Arabia, allegedly planned terrorism attacks in Yemen and served as weapons instructor at an Al Qaeda training camp, where he met with the terrorist group’s leader Osama bin-Laden, according to a statement from the US Defence Department.

Al Darbi is the brother-in-law of Al Mihdhar, who was a hijacker on the plane which crashed into the Pentagon on September 11, 2001. Al Darbi is being held at the military’s facility in Guantanamo Bay in Cuba and will be tried by the military commission set up by the United States for terrorism detainees.

The Pentagon brought two charges against Al Darbi: conspiring with others to attack civilians, commit murder in violation of the law of war, destroy property in violation of the law of war, hazard a vessel and commit terrorism; and providing material support to terrorism.
