The couple divorced in 2003 and Khalid's attorney Mark Hill suggested during the trial that the couple's daughter was coached to testify against her father by her mother, who has full custody of the child.

WASHINGTON - Immigrants arrested in the United States may be held indefinitely on suspicion of terrorism and may not challenge their imprisonment in civilian courts, the Bush administration said Monday, opening a new legal front in the fight over the rights of detainees. In court documents filed with the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va., the Justice Department said a new anti-terrorism law being used to hold detainees in Guantanamo Bay also applies to foreigners captured and held in the United States. Ali Saleh Kahlah Al-Marri, a citizen of Qatar, was arrested in 2001 while studying in the United States. He has been labeled an "enemy combatant," a designation that, under a law signed last month, strips foreigners of the right to challenge their detention in federal courts. That law is being used to argue the Guantanamo Bay cases, but Al-Marri represents the first detainee inside the United States to come under the new law. Aliens normally have the right to c...

Canada's UN votes signal pro-Israel shift Siding with U.S. 'will have implications for our reputation,' ex-diplomat says Steven Edwards Friday, November 17, 2006 UNITED NATIONS - Canada under the Conservatives demonstrated a marked shift in favour of Israel in votes at the United Nations yesterday, registering its third consecutive change on more than 20 Arab- and Muslim-sponsored resolutions that are annually critical of Israeli policy, but light on Arab responsibilities. The switch from the way former Liberal governments voted is expected to continue when Canadian diplomats join those of other UN member states to consider 10 more of the annual resolutions next Tuesday. Prime Minister Stephen Harper has said in successive speeches that his government would not endorse international resolutions on Arab-Israeli relations that it considers unbalanced. Arab and Muslim states use their developing world support to produce "automatic majorities" that slot the resolution...
