Mukhtar Sheik Mohammed, shuffled his shackled feet into Courtroom 10-D...all of Manhattan was tense as the first trial of Guantanamo's "Notorious Seven"... The pretrial motions and jury challenges were last week's history, but not the prosecution's litany of alleged terrorist attacks...With a slight smile, he mouthed the words as the prosecutor led into the testimony of his prime witness. "... the 1993 World Trade Center bombings, the 2002 attack on the US Bank Tower, the Bali nightclub bombings, the American Airlines Flight 63 bombing, the Millennium Plot, the murder of Daniel Pearl, and the 9/11 attack on the Twin Towers." All painted as heinous acts, but to Mukhtar an impressive resume.
