Clinton welcomes 9/11 trials in New York City
WASHINGTON — Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says she has no problem with Attorney General Eric Holder’s decision to try in New York City five alleged terrorists involved in the Sept. 11 attacks.
A former senator from New York, Clinton tells NBC’s “Meet the Press” that she understands that trials will be a painful experience for the families of those who died.
Holder says he plans to bring the professed mastermind of the attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, and four others detained at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to trial in a courtroom near the site of the World Trade Center.
Clinton says she thinks it’s important to note that New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and other officials believe that holding the trials in the city is appropriate.
