Osama bin Laden's son-in-law, who has served as an al Qaeda spokesman, was captured and has been brought to the United States, two administration officials and a federal law enforcement official said today.
Sulaiman Abu Ghaith is being held in New York and will appear in court Friday to face federal charges, the law enforcement official said. A sealed indictment lays out charges against him, the administration officials said.

Osama bin Laden's son-in-law, the voice of fiery al-Qaeda propaganda videos after the Sept. 11 attacks, was convicted of conspiring to kill Americans for his role as the terror group's spokesman. The verdict came after about five hours of deliberation in the case against Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, the highest-ranking al-Qaeda figure to face trial on U.S. Soil since the attacks. Ref. USAToday
