Pakistan beating down the Taliban

Jihadi literature and guerrilla training manuals, mostly in Arabic, lay scattered in a corner, along with DVDs of Osama bin Laden’s sermons and a cache of weapons hurriedly abandoned as insurgents fled from the Pakistani
Army.

There were DVDs and cassettes carrying bin Laden’s messages. Several pamphlets also quoted from the al-Qaeda leader and his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri. “I swear by God that Americans and their allies will not get peace until we
drive them out of Afghanistan and other holy places of Islam,” read an extract from one of bin Laden’s sermons. “This literature was used tomotivate the young militants,” an army official said.

Mohammed and the four others -- Waleed bin Attash, Ramzi Binalshibh, Mustafa Ahmad al-Hawsawi and Ali Abd al-Aziz Ali -- are accused of orchestrating the attacks that killed 2,973 people on Sept. 11, 2001, and will now be tried in a courtroom down the street from the where the twin towers fell.

"The Department of Justice will pursue prosecution in federal court of the five individuals accused of conspiring to commit the 9/11 attacks. Further, I have decided to refer back to the Department of Defense five defendants to face military commission trials, including the detainee who was previously charged in the USS Cole bombing," Holder said at a Justice Department briefing.

The decision drew outrage from some lawmakers and victims' families.
