Suleiman Abu Ghaith rallied al-Qaeda recruits as they made their way to a training camp in Afghanistan, a government witness told jurors. Sahim Alwan, 41, of Lackawanna, New York, testified in federal court in New York that Abu Ghaith spoke to the recruits months before the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon.
