Jurors in the New York trial of alleged al-Qaeda operative Suleiman Abu Ghaith have watched videos of the defendant warning of a “storm” of airplane attacks a month after September 11, 2001.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Abu Ghaith, 48, is on trial in Manhattan federal court for conspiring to kill Americans and providing material support to al-Qaeda.<\/span>
Prosecutors contend Abu Ghaith, a former imam at a Kuwaiti mosque, was a top-tier member of al-Qaeda and knew of various plots.<\/span>
\u00a0<\/span>
On Monday, prosecutors played two videos from October 2001 in which Abu Ghaith, a Kuwaiti and son-in-law of Osama bin Laden, is seen warning of further attacks in the wake of 9\/11.<\/span>
“There are thousands of young Muslims who look forward to die for the sake of Allah,” Abu Ghaith said in one video. <\/span>
“The storm of airplanes will not stop.”<\/span>
\u00a0<\/span>
At another point, Abu Ghaith, 48, warns Muslims “not to board aircraft and we advise them not to live in high rises and tall buildings”.<\/span><\/p>\n

‘Never spoke to Abu Ghaith’<\/strong> <\/span>
Also on Monday, prosecutors questioned via a video feed from the UK a convicted al-Qaeda operative linked to “shoe bomber” Richard Reid, who testified that he was planning shoe-bomb attacks on airplanes around the same time that Abu Ghaith was warning of additional attacks.<\/span>
The implication was that Abu Ghaith was aware of these planned attacks.<\/span>
The government witness, Saajid Badat, 34, testified that he met with bin Laden and other al Qaeda leaders regarding a plan to explode devices on airplanes.<\/span>
At the same time, he acknowledged that he never spoke to Abu Ghaith about the plot and said he did not know if Abu Ghaith was aware of it.<\/span>
\u00a0<\/span>
From late October to December 2001, Badat said he plotted attacks with Reid, the man who became known as the shoe bomber after his attempt to detonate explosives on a flight to Miami in 2001.<\/span>
Reid, a British citizen, pleaded guilty to terrorism charges in a US District Court in Boston.<\/span>
Badat, also a UK citizen, was sentenced to 13 years in prison for the plot after pleading guilty in the UK to<\/span>
conspiring to harm an aircraft.<\/span>
His sentence was later reduced for his cooperation with authorities and he has since been released from prison.<\/span>
If convicted, Abu Ghaith, who has pleaded not guilty, could face life in prison.<\/span><\/p>\n
