Amid
fears that the White House may move the terrorist trials connected with
September 11, 2001, to the Washington, D.C., region, GOP lawmakers are
planning to introduce legislation that would bar the use federal funds
for their prosecution in any U.S. civilian court.
The move comes
as the White House, met with growing opposition, has reportedly begun
considering alternative locations to the originally planned federal
district court in downtown Manhattan to try the professed 9/11
“mastermind” Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and four co-defendants.
