Terror suspects on trial
Al-Qaida's 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two alleged accomplices went on trial in Paris yesterday, accused of plotting the 2002 suicide bombing of a Tunisian synagogue that left 21 dead.
Sheikh Mohammed is held at the US military's Guantanamo Bay prison and will be tried in absentia, but German national Christian Ganczarski and Tunisian Walid Nawar, the bomber's brother, appeared before the anti-terror court.
