It says he tried to get asylum in Turkey using a false identity, but it does not allege any specific charges in that context.<\/p>\n<p>Paul Oostburg Sanz, the Pentagon\u2019s acting \u201cconvening authority,\u201d which is the military title of the official overseeing military commissions, approved the prosecution Monday as a non-capital case.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>According to his <a href=\"http:\/\/media.miamiherald.com\/smedia\/2014\/06\/02\/19\/16\/WAjza.So.56.pdf\">charge sheet<\/a>, he&#8217;s facing 63 charges. For example, charge number 22 reads;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Between in or about March 2002 and continuing at least until in or about 2004, Abd al Hadi issued orders consistent with, and his co-conspirators adhered to, the following al Qaeda tactics:<br \/>\na. to kill Americans and their allies wherever found;<br \/>\nb. to kill everyone encountered on the battlefield and to take no prisoners;<br \/>\nc. to view civilians and medical personnel as acceptable targets;<br \/>\nd. to dress in local attire in order to blend in with the local civilian population in order to commit treacherous and perfidious acts;<br \/>\ne. to use non-conventional methods such as suicide bombings and vehicleborne improvised explosive devices (&#8220;VBIEDs&#8221;); and<br \/>\nf. to videotape attacks and victims&#8217; deaths for propaganda purposes.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So he&#8217;s a real sweetheart. Before arriving at the Guantanamo campus, al Hadi attended the CIA&#8217;s preparatory school. I&#8217;m sure the trial will only last ten or twelve years, and then another 50 years of appeals. But it&#8217;s a non-capital case, so it might all work out if he dies from old age.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>JAGC sends us a link to an article in the Miami Herald which reports that Abd &hellip; <a title=\"Another Gitmo alum headed to trial\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=49662\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Another Gitmo alum headed to trial<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":49687,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-49662","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-terror-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49662","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=49662"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/49662\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/49687"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=49662"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=49662"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=49662"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
