Five Guantanamo Bay detainees with alleged ties to the 9/11 conspiracy, will be transferred to New York to go on trial in civilian court, according to Attorney General Eric Holder announced Friday. Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Ramzi Bin al-Shibh, Walid bin Attash, Ali Abdul Aziz Ali and Mustafa Ahmed al-Hawsawi will all be transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York -- a short distance from the World Trade Center towers that were destroyed in the September 11 attacks.
