Fate of bin Laden's son-in-law, accused terrorist, goes to jury Posted: 25 Mar 2014 09:17 AM PDT By Joseph Ax NEW YORK (Reuters) - A federal jury in New York on Tuesday began deliberating whether or not to convict a son-in-law of al Qaeda founder Osama bin Laden of conspiring to kill Americans and other terrorism-related charges. Prosecutors have accused Suleiman Abu Ghaith of acting as a spokesman and recruiter for al Qaeda in the days after the September 11, 2001 hijacked plane attacks, which killed nearly 3,000 people and destroyed the World Trade Center in New York. The 48-year-old Kuwaiti-born preacher is the highest-profile bin Laden adviser to face trial in a U.S. civilian court since the attacks. Bin Laden was killed by U.S. forces in May 2011 at his hideout in Pakistan.

The Brotherhood's Supreme Guide Mohamed Badie, 70, and the others are being tried in the same court that one day earlier condemned 529 members of the Islamist group to death, a verdict condemned by foreign governments and rights groups.

Plane's final destination determined through 19th century physics Posted: 24 Mar 2014 04:10 PM PDT By Paul Sandle LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's Inmarsat used a wave phenomenon discovered in the 19th century to analyze the seven pings its satellite picked up from Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 to determine its final destination. The new findings led Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak to conclude on Monday that the Boeing 777, which disappeared more than two weeks ago, crashed thousands of miles away in the southern Indian Ocean, killing all 239 people on board. The pings, automatically transmitted every hour from the aircraft after the rest of its communications systems had stopped, indicated it continued flying for hours after it disappeared from its flight path from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. From the time the signals took to reach the satellite and the angle of elevation, Inmarsat was able to provide two arcs, one north and one south that the aircraft could have taken.
