Somali Terror Suspect Faces Trial in New York
Somali terrorism suspect Ahmed Abdulkadir Warsame arrived in New York Monday to be tried in civilian court. The Justice Department says Warsame was a leader of the Somali militant Islamist group Al-Shabab. Warsame was arrested by the US military in April in the Gulf and was taken to a naval vessel where he was interrogated for two months before being brought to New York. Anchor Marco Werman talks with Matthew Waxman, associate professor at Columbia Law School, New York.
