S high court asked to examine case of Qatari terror suspect
7 hours ago
WASHINGTON (AFP) Lawyers for the only 'enemy combatant' jailed in the United States without trial on Friday asked the Supreme Court to examine whether the government has the right to detain indefinitely terror suspects captured on US soil.
If the nine-judge panel agrees to take up the case, it could deliver a stinging rebuke to the administration of President George W. Bush's 'war on terror' policies.
Defense lawyers for Qatari citizen Ali al-Marri, who was arrested in the United States after the September 11, 2001 attacks, have asked the court to consider whether US law allows 'the seizure and indefinite military detention of a person lawfully residing in the United States.'
Marri, they note, is being held 'without criminal charge or trial, based on government assertions that the detainee conspired with Al-Qaeda to engage in terrorist activities,' according to court documents.
The last three times the Supreme Court took up 'war on terror' cases, the rulings were against the government
