Inside the 'Terror Wing' where Bin Laden's son-in-law is locked up just blocks from Ground Zero
The Daily Mail Online ^ | March 8, 2013 | Daniel Bates

Osama bin Laden's son-in-law is being held in a super-secret 'terror wing' of a fortress-like federal prison that has housed some of the most notorious criminals of recent memory.

Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, who pleaded not guilty Friday to charges of conspiring to kill Americans on 9/11, is in a cell that's eight feet by 12 feet inside the Metropolitan Correctional Center.

He's locked up just blocks from the former site of the World Trade Center where nearly 3,000 people were killed on 9/11.

The grim MCC is a mini Guantanamo Bay where prisoners are locked up for 22 hours a day. Hook-handed preacher of hate Abu Hamza, who was deported from Britain to face terrorism charges in the same court, is also in the same jail on the Terror Wing reserved for high risk inmates.

The prison is considered one of the harshest in the nation and Lawyers for ‘Lord of War’ arms trader Viktor Bout, who spent 14 months there in solitary, said it was so vile that it was like the jail depicted in the Alexandre Dumas novel The Count of Monte Cristo.

Rooms are said to be filthy and anyone who participates in group exercise sessions on the roof is subjected to an invasive search afterwards to make sure they do not have anything that harms them or others.

Prison guards are also known to pound on the doors at 2am and 5am and shine their flashlights in to make sure prisoners are still there.......................

Sounds like a nice place for nice guys. BTW while Kerry was in Saudi Arabia, maybe he should have told the Saudis to fund the new Freedom Tower and the costs of 9/11. Never forget the 19 9/11 terrorists were Saudis.

...Bout, ..., said it was so vile that it was like the jail depicted in the Alexandre Dumas novel The Count of Monte Cristo.

I say we bring back the oubliette...for use only after due process, of course.

Why is an Al-Qaeda terrorist being tried in a court of law near Ground Zero?

Why does he have rights?

This man is an unlawful enemy combatant.

Why in NYC? Why let everyone know exactly where he is? I hope we don’t regret this move..it makes NYC even more of a target.
He could have been tried as a enemy combatant overseas..by our troops in Jordan and then shot.

This is no different than KSM being tired in NY.

They got hamstrung on that, now they are trying this.

They want these unlawful enemy combatants in front of their judges very badly.

My heart does not bleed for this wretch or his fellows. You want death to Christians and Jews and Americans, fine, don't be surprised when they catch you and throw you in a hole or worse.

These people would kill everyone reading these words in an instant. They should not even be tried, they should be eradicated.

I shed a tear for this dirt bag/sarc. He should be doing a dirt nap instead of being fed three hot meals and provided a bed, and full constitutional protections as though he is an American!

22 cent round would be much cheaper than providing this bag of crap with the socialist in the WH an opportunity for another socialist ideology show trial in socialist republican of NY!

Great - the Correctional Center is literally 5 walking minutes from where my daughter goes to college (Pace University, downtown NYC campus) - it’s barely a block away.

Didn’t the House deign that no federal money could be used to bring terrorists into the country for criminal trials?

If so, it’s yet another case of the completely lawless Obama regime.

Gee, I sure hope none of the followers of Mohammed the child molester, decide to blow the place up before, during or after the trial.
