As Trump touts Guantanamo, civilian prosecutors notch wins
None
Al-Qaida operative Ibrahim Suleiman Adnan Harun is just the type of "bad dude" that Donald Trump has said should be locked up at Guantanamo Bay.
But under an Obama-era policy that favored trial in civilian courts for anti-American fighters captured overseas, Harun was sent instead to New York.
He was convicted on Thursday of killing two US servicemen on a battlefield in Afghanistan. Jurors deliberated for just two hours. Harun's conviction keeps alive a perfect track record for federal prosecutors in New York.
