This October 06, 2010 courtroom sketch shows defendant Ahmad Khalfan Ghailani (L) at his trial in New York. Judge Lewis Kaplan barred a key government witness, Hussein Abebe, from appearing in the trial of Ghailani on grounds that Abebe's 'testimony would be the product of statements made by Ghailani to the CIA under duress.' Abebe could not testify because he had been uncovered by the US authorities as a 'direct result of statements made by Ghailani while he was held by the CIA,' Kaplan added. Judge Kaplan postponed the first trial in a civilian court of a former inmate from the notorious US military prison in Cuba until October 12. Arrested in Pakistan in 2004, Ghailani is the sole inmate of the notorious Guantanamo facility in Cuba to have been transferred into the US civilian justice system. Ghailani is a Tanzanian accused of helping to bomb two US embassies in East Africa in 1998 that killed 224 people.
