NEW YORK, NY July 02, 2009 —A federal judge in Manhattan has set a September 2010 trial date for a Guantanamo detainee charged in the 1998 bombings of two U.S. embassies in Africa.

Authorities allege Ahmed Ghailani was a bomb-maker, document forger and aide to Osama bin Laden. The attacks at embassies in Tanzania and Kenya killed 224 people.

Ghailani became the first Guantanamo detainee brought to the U.S. for a civilian trial when he arrived in New York last month.

Yesterday his lawyers asked the government to preserve so-called "black sites" where he was held overseas, so they can inspect them prior to his trial.
