Media frenzy in NYC terror trial
The latest testimony in the Brooklyn federal trial of Yemeni Sheikh Mohamed al-Moayad is a Yahya Goba, 28, a member of the "Lackawanna Six," himself facing ten years imprisonment. His courtroom recount of a spring 2001 visit to an al-Qaeda camp in Afghanistan, where he twice saw Osama bin Laden, wowed the media. Invoking Osama is a big strike against the Sheikh, even though he is not said to be linked to Goba. Prosecutors sought Goba's testimony to bolster their claims that the Sheikh's name on a letter of recommendation for a third person to attend such a camp shows he had standing with al-Qaeda.
