"Detainee Acquitted on Most Counts in '98 Bombings"

"Detainee Acquitted on Most Counts in '98 Bombings": The New York Times has a news update that begins, "The first former Guantanamo detainee to be tried in a civilian court was acquitted on Wednesday of all but one of more than 280 charges of conspiracy and murder in the 1998 terrorist bombings of the United States Embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The case has been seen as a test of President Obama's goal of trying detainees in federal court whenever feasible, and the result may again fuel debate over whether civilian courts are appropriate for trying terrorists."

The Washington Post has a news update headlined "Ahmed Ghailani, Gitmo detainee, acquitted of all but 1 charge in NY."

The Los Angeles Times has a news update headlined "Gitmo detainee Ahmed Ghailani acquitted of all but one charge in N.Y."

Carol Rosenberg of The Miami Herald has a news update headlined "Jury convicts embassy bombing plotter on just one count."

And The Associated Press reports that "Gitmo detainee acquitted of all but 1 charge in NY."
