Lawyers for Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani are asking for leniency based on his alleged torture by the CIA prior to his transfer to Guantanamo and then to the civilian justice system for trial in the al-Qaida conspiracy to bomb U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998.
Mr. Ghailani is scheduled to be sentenced by Southern District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan on Jan. 25 on a single count of conspiracy to destroy government buildings and property. He was acquitted last fall on 283 other counts. (NYLJ, Nov. 18, 2010).
