Osama bin Laden son-in-law agreed to help terror campaign, court hears

New York prosecutors accuse Suleiman Abu Ghaith of acting as al-Qaidas mouthpiece in propaganda videos and speeches

Osama bin Ladens son-in-law conspired with him to recruit a new wave of jihadists even as the American buildings attacked on September 11 were still burning, a New York court heard on Wednesday.

Suleiman Abu Ghaith confessed to FBI officials after his capture in Jordan last year that he agreed to help Bin Ladens campaign against the west by using the murderous power of his words as al-Qaidas mouthpiece in propaganda videos and speeches, US prosecutors said.
