Hamdan’s lawyer said in opening statements that the Yemeni, held for nearly seven years before his trial, was just a paid employee of the fugitive al Qaeda leader, a driver in the motor pool who never joined the militant group or plotted attacks on America. But prosecutor Timothy Stone told the six-member jury of U.S. military officers who will decide Hamdan’s fate that Hamdan had inside knowledge of the 2001 attacks on the United States because he had overheard a conversation between bin Laden and his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri.
“Virtually no one knew the intended target [of the fourth plane], but the accused knew,” Stone said. United Airlines Flight 93 crashed in a field in rural Pennsylvania. U.S. officials have never stated it was shot down although rumours saying that abound to this day.
