NEW YORK, Dec. 14 (UPI) -- U.S. officials are close to deciding whether to try several accused al-Qaida operatives, now in Guantanamo, in federal court in Brooklyn, N.Y., sources said.
The New York Times said deciding to try some cases in Brooklyn would mean major terrorism trials would not just take place in Manhattan, N.Y. -- where the admitted mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks is set to be prosecuted.
The newspaper said officials have said other terrorism trials would take place in Washington and Alexandria, Va.
The names of suspected terrorists to be tried in Brooklyn have not been detailed, the newspaper said, but the sources said they would include at least one high-profile detainee.
