Al-Qaeda fighter possible witness at NYC trial
None
When a shadowy American who became a sworn member of al-Qaeda was captured in Pakistan in 2008, US intelligence officials sensed they had struck gold.
The young jihadist was whisked away to a New York courtroom in early 2009, where he secretly pleaded guilty to terrorism charges and was then held in seclusion. His identity - but not much else - was made public a few months later. (AP)
