Aid To al Qaeda Caught In Guantanamo Bay


The story “Bin Laden's former driver guilty in terror trial” is an article from CNN, and is about how Osama Bin Laden’s former driver was arrested in Guantanamo Bay. The person is Salim Hamdan; he is being accused of driving Osama Bin Laden the leader of al Qaeda, the man responsible for the 9/11/01 attacks on the World Trade Center. The trial is being held at Guantanamo Bay, Salim is potentially facing a life sentence. Having occurred on 8/06/08, this could possibly a huge break through for the search for Osama Bin Laden. Salim’s defense said: “Hamdan was a low-level driver who knew little about the workings of bin Laden's al Qaeda”. Hamdan said: “ he worked for wages, not to wage attacks against America”. Hamdan pleaded: “not guilty at the start of the trial”.

Although the attacks on the Twin Towers happened seven years ago, we are still looking for details as to why the attacks happened. Although we try to escape bad memories of our past we are always drawn back to the strory of 9/11, the evidence suggests that Hamdan was just a poor man who was trying to make an extra dollar. The evidence says that he did not know any of Bin Laden’s plans to attack America. Hamdan was just a poor man with a bad job, and didn’t know what he was getting himself into. Although this man’s name is not well known, he did assit one of the worlds most diabolical men in the entire history of the world.
