Washington, March 27 (IANS) Osama Bin Laden's son-in-law Sulaiman Abu Ghaith, a Kuwaiti national, was convicted of conspiring to kill Americans at a trial in New York city Wednesday, the media reported. Federal prosecutors for the US government argued at the trial that Ghaith worked within the top ranks of the terror group and assumed the role of a spokesperson of sorts, appearing in propaganda videotapes released in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks orchestrated by Al Qaeda. Ghaith admitted during trial that he was summoned personally by Osama bin Laden in June 2011, and later took the Al Qaeda leader's daughter as his wife. He is the highest-ranking Al Qaeda figure to face trial on US soil since the attacks.
