His lawyer has long claimed his client was “tortured by the CIA”.
Al-Shibh was scheduled to face pretrial proceedings on Friday.
Turkey, once NATO’s staunch southeastern flank sentinel against the Soviet Union, still operates the alliance’s second-largest military. These days, NATO’s second-largest military has a problem with its aerial firepower.
Turks are proud that their Air Force (TuAF) is the world’s ninth-largest. But it is not necessarily the ninth-strongest. According to the World Directory of Modern Military Aircraft, TuAF is not among the world’s top 15 militaries listed. Turkey has 110 attack helicopters and 205 fighter/interceptor aircraft, according to Global Firepower. But its fleet of 1,065 military aircraft includes no dedicated attack aircraft.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Hollywood studios and striking screenwriters are resuming negotiations for the second consecutive day Thursday. The talks could potentially put an end to the nearly five-month dispute that has brought many film and television productions to a halt.
Before Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, there was Pierre Elliott Trudeau, his father and Canada’s 15th PM.
With his embracing of the Khalistani elements in Canada, Justin Trudeau ensured that ties with India nosedived. The trigger for the plunging relations was his unsubstantiated claims that India was behind the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
And before Justin Trudeau’s visit to India, first in 2018 and then in 2023 for the G20 Summit, came his father’s.
Eagle Pass Mayor Rolando Salinas Jr. said he believes “100%” that President Joe Biden is at fault for the recent increase in immigrants in his border town.
The city is on the banks of the Rio Grande and recently issued an emergency declaration over the 4,000 foreign nationals that illegally crossed the river between ports of entry and under the international bridge. It is set to expire in seven days from Thursday. Salinas was asked during an interview if he faulted Biden for the sudden increase.
Texas installed razor wire in Eagle Pass to stop illegal crossings.
Today the Biden Admin CUT that wire, opening the floodgates to illegal immigrants.
I immediately deployed more Texas National Guard to repel illegal crossings & install more razor wire. pic.twitter.com/eMtLS8Z6WI

As Canadians wait to learn more about Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s explosive reveal of “credible allegations of a potential link between agents of the Government of India and the killing of a Canadian citizen,” questions continue to compound. The clearest thing right now is we need to know more about Hardeep Singh Nijjar’s murder and, based on how peer governments handled similar cases, there’s solid precedent for transparency about the evidence.
OTTAWA — Evidence in the trial of two “Freedom Convoy” organizers suggests city staff did not give protest organizers or their lawyers a heads-up about plans to file a court injunction against demonstrators.
The Canadian government has so far not responded to Taiwan’s invitation to share its experience battling Beijing’s information and interference activities, Taiwan’s de facto ambassador to Canada, Ho-Jen Tseng, told a House of Commons committee.
Have you noticed that the time in between embarrassing moments for Joe Biden seems to be getting shorter and shorter? On Wednesday, Biden nearly knocked over the Brazilian flag while walking on stage before giving a speech launching the “Partnership for Workers’ Rights” program. Later, he gave an awkward salute to the audience while appearing somewhat lost before exiting the stage.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is being ridiculed for voicing his support for “2SLGBTQI+” citizens while condemning supposed widespread “biphobia,” as Canadians marched against the pushing of gender ideology in the school system.
In a Wednesday post, the far-left Canadian prime minister expressed the point in a message widely seen as virtue signaling.

Democratic Senator Bob Menendez and his wife Nadine Arslanian Menendez have been indicted by a federal grand jury over corruption allegations in an investigation that focused on a luxury car, $400,000 in gold bars and cash, plus payments toward a home mortgage allegedly received by Menendez and his wife.
The indictment claims the couple had an improper relationship with three New Jersey businessmen: Wael Hana, Jose Uribe and Fred Daibes, who allegedly paid the couple in exchange for Menendez to use his influence in Washington D.C. to their benefit.
The teen driver who allegedly mowed down a retired police chief in a fatal hit-and-run told Las Vegas police he would be back on the streets in under a month, according to a report.
Jesus Ayala is accused of driving a stolen Hyundai Elantra on Aug. 14 along with Jzamir Keys, 16, and deliberately crashing into and killing Andreas “Andy” Probst, 64, who had been riding his bike, a disturbing video showed.
This is the sort of crime that makes you think convicted monsters being torn apart by wild dogs on live TV may not be so bad after all.
The majority of individuals issued deportation orders by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) are believed to still be in the country, according to internal government data.
Between Jan. 1 and May 24 of this year, 1,004 deportation orders were issued, of which 185 recipients complied. Enforcement agents removed another 168 individuals, with the rest still in Canada, according to data contained in an order paper requested by Calgary-Shepard Tory MP Tom Kmiec.
