9/11 Case Motions Hearing: August 11 Session

Today your correspondent will observe, via CCTV, pre-trial proceedings in the case of United States v. Ramzi Binalshibh. That's the prosecution against only one of the five men accused of plotting the 9/11 attacks. The military judge has severed Binalshibh's case, for the moment, from that against the other four; today, military prosecutors will ask the court to reconsider that ruling. But the litigation involving the other four accused will wait until tomorrow at least.
You'll find dispatches throughout the day in our "Event Coverage" section, with links to those below.
UPDATE [3:00 p.m.]: The proceedings recessed after one session; we understand that there will be *no* hearing tomorrow, but that, subject to rulings by the military judge, the proceedings will resume either Wednesday afternoon or Thursday.
