1 (Trial resumed)
2 (Jury not present)
3 THE COURT: Mr. Schmidt, is your witness here?
4 MR. SCHMIDT: Your Honor, he is on his way. I spoke
5 to him.
6 THE COURT: Mr. Baugh is making some gestures. Let's
7 bring in the jury.
8 I take it this witness is not related to the
9 defendant. The witness, whose last name is O-D-E-H, is not
10 related to the defendant, whose last name is O-D-E-H.
11 MR. SCHMIDT: That is correct.
12 THE COURT: I think it might be helpful to bring that
13 out.
14 MR. RICCO: Thank you. You saved us a quarter.
15 MR. FITZGERALD: Your Honor, just one other matter.
16 I was handed an exhibit which has a picture of Mr. El Hage's
17 child in it. I would object. I would request if anything is
18 displayed to the jury we don't have child pictures. There is
19 a dog in the picture. If they want to offer a picture of the
20 dog, so be it.
21 MR. SCHMIDT: I don't think it was Mr. El Hage's
22 daughter, I think it was a niece. The purpose of putting it
23 in is the dog. If you want me to redact the child --
24 THE COURT: There is some relevance about the dog?
25 MR. SCHMIDT: There is testimony about the dog by
4148
1 Mr. Kherchtou -- actually, your Honor, if I may, I believe it
2 is relevant for the -- no.
3 THE COURT: I haven't seen the picture. I don't want
4 to see the picture. Delete the child.
5 MR. SCHMIDT: I think it is relevant for the child to
6 be in the picture because the manner that the government put
7 in the evidence of the dog, of purchasing the dog and sending
8 two of them to Mr. Bin Laden, was that these are ferocious
9 attack dogs and these are not. These are pet German
10 Shepherds, and you can tell by the picture of the child --
11 THE COURT: You can tell by a picture of a child with
12 a dog that the dog is not an attack dog? I don't know how
13 much you know about dogs. Dogs are trained to recognize
14 friends and to recognize possibly hostile persons. A
15 photograph of a child with a dog -- you know, there is a trial
16 going on now in some other community of an attack dog killing
17 somebody. I am sure that that dog with its owners' child
18 would have been very peaceful.
19 MR. SCHMIDT: That dog was a vicious dog to
20 everybody, your Honor. That is why the neighbors complained
21 about it. If you want to raise this at the break, we will
22 raise it at the break.
23 THE COURT: Let's raise it at the break. Let's not
24 turn this into a circus.
25 MR. SCHMIDT: Your Honor, I am responding to the
4149
1 proof of the government. They are the ones that brought that
2 out.
3 Mohamed March way slay Odeh,
4 MOHAMED ALI MURAWEH SALEH ODEH, resumed.
5 (Jury present)
6 THE COURT: I remind everyone we are going to cease
7 today at 3:00. That may not be the right terminology. We are
8 going to terminate the proceedings today.
9 Mr. Odeh, the court reminds you you are still under
10 oath.
11 Mr. Schmidt, you may continue.

5 indicated in the letter?

10 is?
11 A Yes, the director of KICC.
12 Q Why was Mr. El Hage speaking to the director of KICC on
13 your behalf?
14 A Because I told you I have no telephone. For that he can
15 receive any communication on behalf of me.
16 Q Was he assisting you in setting up this exhibition?
17 A That is correct.
18 Q KICC means Kenyatta International Conferences, is that
19 correct?
20 A That is correct.
21 Q Is that one of the places that you were considering
22 setting up this exhibition?
23 A Yes.
24 MR. SCHMIDT: I ask if we can play 109-4, if we can
25 set that up. That would be Exhibit WEH27, and there would be
4161
1 an English translation, so I would ask that the exhibit, the
2 tape be offered into evidence.
3 THE COURT: Any objection?
4 MR. FITZGERALD: No objection.
5 THE COURT: Received.
6 (Defendant's Exhibit WEHW27 received in evidence)

4162
1 Mr. El Hage's home in Nairobi.
2 (Tape played)
3 (Pause)
4 Q Mr. Odeh, where was the exhibition ultimately held?
5 A What?
6 Q Where was the exhibition, the Jordanian product exhibition
7 held?
8 A In Grand Regency Hotel.
9 Q How come it ended up being held there?
10 A Yes, I have a correspondence, and I think I give you one
11 copy of that correspondence, between me and the Grand Regency.
12 Q Do you recall why it ended up being at the Grand Regency
13 and not at the KICC?
14 A Because the Jordanian group prefer to be at the Grand
15 Regency. I have no choice.
16 Q Do you recall a person named Daniel that was involved in
17 the stone business?
18 A What?
19 Q Do you remember a person named Daniel that was involved in
20 the stone business?

2 A I tried to send him for some person called Mbauga, to
3 arrange a sample of gold because we have a buyer in Hong Kong.
4 Q What was the arrangement -- withdrawn. Was that part of

8 people asked me about gold and by chance somebody also in
9 Nairobi told me that he can arrange gold from Tanzania for
10 that when I sent for him a fax I sent him particular to that
11 guy, and that moment what I did, did not know him for that I
12 guide him to go to tell him about this gold, and I sent in the

22 transcript so I have to offer that as well.
23 THE COURT: I see. They're in evidence but they're
24 not going to be put on the display.
25 MR. SCHMIDT: No. The transcript will be put on
4168
1 display. We're not playing the tape that we would not have
2 played anyway since it's Arabic, so I offer the transcript
3 WEHXW17-T into evidence at this time.
4 THE COURT: Received.
5 (Defendant's Exhibit WEHXW17-T received in evidence)
6 MR. SCHMIDT: At this time, Mr. Larsen will be the

9 Mohamed: Wadiah?
10 Ali: What?
11 Mohamed: Hello?
12 Ali: Just a minute. Is Wadih traveling?
13 Mohamed: Yes.
14 Ali: Okay.
15 Mohamed: But he told me that you wanted the
16 machine.
17 Ali: Yes, the machine.
18 Mohamed: The machine, yes.
19 Ali: Yeah.
20 Mohamed: How to you want to take it to do what
21 with it?
22 Ali: I saw a person in Kikuyu.
23 Mohamed: Yes.
24 Ali: But I want to check on him for I don't know
25 him long enough.
4170
1 Mohamed: You don't know him.
2 Ali: Not for long. About three years only.
3 Mohamed: I see.
4 Ali: Just I want to ask people about him to see if
5 we can trust him.
6 Mohamed: Yes.
7 Ali: Then we can deal with him, but before that we
8 have to check him out.
9 Mohamed: Yes, yes.
10 Ali: However the man knows his work.
11 Mohamed: Yes.
12 Ali: But you know if we give him the machine.
13 Mohamed: Yes, it will be your responsibility then.
14 Ali: Yes, I know.
15 Mohamed: True. You follow up on him.
16 Ali: God willing.
17 Mohamed: Find out about this man. How is he.
18 Ali: Okay. Then I will call you God willing.
19 Mohamed: Praise be to God. How are you?
20 Ali: Fine, thank you.
21 Mohamed: God bless you.
22 Ali: God willing.
23 Mohamed: Any other service?
24 Ali: Thank you. Peace of God be with you.
25 Mohamed: And you also."
4171
1 MR. FITZGERALD: One moment, your Honor.
2 (Pause)
3 MR. SCHMIDT: Mr. Fitzgerald on behalf of the
4 government and myself on behalf of Wadih El Hage stipulates
5 that Ali Omar Mohamed or Ali Gab is not the Ali Mohamed that
6 had been mentioned in documents or in London, England.
7 THE COURT: Very well. We'll take our mid-morning
8 recess at this point. Counsel remain in the courtroom.

4 THE COURT: Mr. Schmidt, how many more tapes
5 comparable to those played this morning do you contemplate
6 seeking to play?
7 MR. SCHMIDT: Well, I'm not sure which ones are
8 comparable. I would say this morning I have about four or
9 five more. We're waiting for some finished copies of other
10 ones that are a little bit more substantial that we gave to
11 the government yesterday, we dropped off in their office
12 yesterday, yesterday evening, to play hopefully this
13 afternoon.
14 THE COURT: Different subject matters?
15 MR. SCHMIDT: Most of them -- most of the other ones
16 that we plan to do this afternoon are different subject
17 matters.
18 THE COURT: Very well. We'll take a five-minute
19 recess.
20 (Recess)
21 (In open court; jury not present)
22 MR. RUHNKE: Your Honor, the government has differing
23 views of what you wish from the defense by way of a
24 representation that there will not be overlap an duplication
25 at the penalty phase. We'd like an opportunity to discuss it.
4173
1 THE COURT: I was just responding to the statement
2 made by the government that they understood that you were
3 going to make or you had made an oral representation to them.
4 MR. BAUGH: Your Honor, the interpreters can't hear
5 you --
6 THE COURT: That you had made an oral representation
7 to them which satisfied them that there would not be an
8 overlap run.
9 MR. RUHNKE: That was my understanding.
10 THE COURT: Don't let the jury come in until we
11 finish this colloquy.
12 I expressed doubt yesterday as to the enforceability
13 of such a representation, and, of course, in order to make
14 sure that there would be no overlap I would have to have a
15 comparable representation on behalf of Al-'Owhali. So I
16 really do not have a very specific view of what that should
17 be. Does the government have any thoughts?
18 MR. FITZGERALD: Yes, Judge. What we had thought was
19 if counsel in writing or orally made a proffer to the Court of
20 what the defense was, without the government being present,
21 then the Court would understand what road they're going down.
22 We understand subpoenas have been issued, but we
23 don't know just because subpoenas were issued whether they are
24 going down a particular road or whether they will be
25 admissible. We just thought if in they put in writing a
4174
1 proffer of where they expect to go in the defense, that would
2 be helpful.
3 MR. BAUGH: Your Honor, I do want the Court to know
4 that at the time Mr. Ruhnke made that representation both
5 defense teams had a meeting and we discussed that very issue
6 and when Mr. Ruhnke made his representation, he was making it
7 for both.
8 THE COURT: I see. All right.
9 MR. SCHMIDT: Your Honor.
10 THE COURT: Let's finish this.
11 MR. SCHMIDT: I apologize.
12 THE COURT: Okay.
13 MR. FITZGERALD: The government had asked for some
14 showing of what the defenses would be. We understand it
15 wasn't appropriate for us to get it, but yesterday we were
16 saying if there is a proffer made to the Court, your Honor
17 could hear what each party says. I thought that would be --
18 THE COURT: If you think it would be helpful to the
19 Court in deciding on bifurcation, I will receive and consider
20 it. I am not requiring that at the trial. What I do want is
21 as I said yesterday, I want the government in writing to set
22 forth its view on whether there are any circumstances under
23 which in the Al-'Owhali penalty phase, should it be reached,
24 the government would seek to introduce evidence of the
25 specific attack on Correction Officer Pepe.
4175
1 MR. FITZGERALD: Yes.
2 THE COURT: Not attacks in general, but that
3 specifically, and that I would like to have in writing. All
4 right.
5 MR. SCHMIDT: Your Honor, if I may on the photograph
6 issue, the reason why the request of the photograph of the
7 child, the child, that small child in the photograph is not
8 Mr. El Hage's daughter. It's one of his nieces who was a
9 guest that was there for a short period of time. It simply
10 reflects a pet, not a dangerous guard dog.
11 THE COURT: May I see the photograph?
12 MR. FITZGERALD: I would note a few things. First,
13 the record shows that he bought more than one dog and we were
14 trying to corroborate the witness Kherchtou, since Kherchtou
15 indicated he had a relationship with El Hage, and he walked
16 the dog. We put the records in to show that in fact that was
17 true. It also helps to set the timing. We are not trying to
18 argue to the jury because Mr. El Hage bought a dog he's a
19 dangerous person.
20 THE COURT: Is there any suggestion that the dog was
21 an attack dog?
22 MR. FITZGERALD: No, Judge. There were dogs that
23 were sent, other dogs that would be sent to Khartoum to be
24 trained. They weren't bought as trained attack dogs. We
25 won't contend that. No one is going to argue that Mr. El Hage
4176
1 is a dangerous person because he possessed a dog and I don't
2 think putting a picture of a girl next to a dog in there is
3 necessary to rebut any argument not being made.
4 THE COURT: What probative value does this have?
5 It's a cute picture. The jury certainly has not seen cute
6 pictures, but --
7 MR. SCHMIDT: Your Honor, it simply is for the
8 purpose of showing that the contact between Mr. El Hage and
9 Mr. Bin Laden concerning the dogs was not sinister, was not
10 criminal, it was not related to viciousness. This is his pet.
11 THE COURT: Do you know the age of the dog?
12 MR. SCHMIDT: Excuse me?
13 THE COURT: Do you know the age of this dog? Do you
14 know how large this dog would be? Do we know the height of
15 the child? Do we know anything about the dog?
16 The objection is sustained on the grounds that the
17 photograph has no probative value with respect to the issues
18 for which it is proposed, and it's simply a cute picture of a
19 child and a dog. The impact on the jury would not be proper
20 or relevant to the issues here which you propose. Mark this
21 as an exhibit for identification so that the record will make
22 this colloquy more meaningful.
23 MR. SCHMIDT: Your Honor, does that mean that we will
24 be able to bring a redacted photo of this with just the dog?
25 THE COURT: No, for the same reason I just stated.
4177

8 Q Mr. Odeh, I'm going to show you a photograph which has
9 been marked WEHX-P1.

13 Q Do you recognize that photograph?
14 A Yes.

16 A This is the office of Mr. Wadih El Hage.
17 Q Is that the office in his home?
18 A Yes, it is in his house, yes.
19 MR. SCHMIDT: I offer that into evidence, your Honor.
20 THE COURT: It's been received.
21 MR. SCHMIDT: I ask that it be shown.
22 Q You testified that yesterday that there was a desk in the
23 office. Is that the part of the desk that's showing on the
24 right-hand side?
25 A Yes, it is a part of the desk.
4179
1 Q And is that chair with some electronic equipment on it the
2 only chair in the office or is there another chair in the
3 office?
4 A Yes, there are two or three.
5 Q Thank you.

10 document that was taken off of the computer seized in Mr. El
11 Hage's home. I offer the original document and the
12 translations into evidence.
13 MR. FITZGERALD: No objection.
14 THE COURT: Received.
15 (Defendant's Exhibits WEHX-Y297 to 300 and
16 WEH-Y297-300T received in evidence)
17 MR. SCHMIDT: May we put the first page of the
18 original document. Would you move it down, please. That's
19 the first page of the document and now if we can put on the
20 translation, the first page of the translation.
21 If I may.
22 (Exhibit read)
23 THE COURT: How much longer is this letter? How much
24 longer is this letter?
25 MR. SCHMIDT: This letter is four pages, I'm on page
4180
1 two.
2 THE COURT: Is the content of the rest of this letter
3 relevant or has there been enough of a description so that the
4 subject matter is clear?
5 MR. SCHMIDT: No.

10 to go and come back, whose fax was that?

14 products?
15 A Yes, sometime look at from Kenya, sometimes from Jordan.
16 It comes supply with that letter and many other letters,
17 coming through that fax.
18 MR. SCHMIDT: Your Honor, there was a stipulation
19 earlier before the break. The government and the defendant
20 Wadih El Hage agree that the persons previously mentioned in
21 the government's case, Ali Mohamed, Mohamed Ali, or Abu
22 Mohamed are not the Mohamed Ali Odeh who is here today or the
23 Ali Mohamed Ali Gab mentioned yesterday or today.
24 At this time, your Honor, I wish to read from the
25 transcript of an Arab conversation, WEHXW28-T, conversation of
4182
1 July 15, 1997 between Wadih El Hage and Ali Gob, or Ali O

9 (Defense Exhibit WEHW28T read to the jury)
10 BY MR. SCHMIDT:
11 Q Mr. Odeh, Mr. Ali Gob indicated that he did not want to
12 bring someone to the house because of thieves. Do you know
13 what he meant by that? Do you know what is meant by that?
14 A You know sometime, you couldn't start talking in general
15 about a tribe, but some, because it --
16 Q Let me withdraw that question and ask you another
17 question. What is the concern about bringing people that you
18 don't know to one's home?
19 A Because they feel they are thief.
20 Q Have you been the victim of a theft from your home?

24 Q For importing those items into Kenya, is it your
25 experience that you must pay value added tax?
4185
1 A Yes, this is procedure, but I did not know what it mean in
2 English. In Arabic, I know.
3 Q Is there a procedure to get an exemption to value added
4 tax for nongovernmental organizations?
5 A In general there is something for nongovernment
6 organization and some personal effects also. This is the
7 procedure you have to follow in both way. You write to the
8 government, if they say yes, exemption or not exemption.
9 MR. SCHMIDT: I am going to offer WEHX-K-18.
10 MR. FITZGERALD: No objection.
11 THE COURT: Received.

17 obtained from the computer seized from Mr. El Hage's home in
18 August of 1997.

20 Hage to obtain visas for two Sudanese individuals coming from,

13 MR. SCHMIDT: At this time I would like to play
14 NB1-020-1, WEH-W7-E. It has very little Swahili. It is

7 BY MR. SCHMIDT:
8 Q Good afternoon, Mr. Odeh.
9 A Good afternoon.
10 MR. SCHMIDT: Your Honor, at this time I'd like to
11 play WEHX-31-E, also, corresponding to NB1-163 and it's
12 English. Hopefully we'll be able to listen to it in its
13 original version without having to read it. And I move the
14 tape recording into evidence, and I ask that the translation,
15 excuse me, the transcription of the English be shown to the
16 jury.
17 MR. FITZGERALD: May I have a moment, your Honor.

1 MR. SCHMIDT: We're cuing up the tape recording.
2 THE COURT: This is W31.
3 MR. SCHMIDT: That's correct.
4 (Tape played)
5 THE COURT: It is an imposition to impose that
6 discordant sound on the jury, and the inflexion language and
7 so on is not of enough significance to warrant it.
8 MR. DRATEL: This is September 10, 1997 telephone
9 call. Mr. Larsen will read the part of April. I will read
10 the part of Wadih.
11 (Exhibit read)

16 Q Is that the Kenyan criminal investigation division?
17 A Yes.
18 Q And what invitation was he talking about, do you remember?
19 A You know somebody when he want to take a passport from
20 Kenya he need some invitation from overseas, for that Samir
21 when he was with me in Kenya he promise him to invite him and
22 his family to stay some time in Hong Kong.
23 Q And when you were in Hong Kong who were you seeing?
24 A Myself?
25 Q Yes.
4191
1 A What is that date first of all remind me on the date for
2 that I can tell you.
3 Q That date of that conversation was August 6, 1997?
4 A 1997 I see Abdul Martiz, I see Samir, I saw also Dr. Said
5 Taleb, and some people Chinese for gem stones.
6 Q Now, how long had you known Chirchir at that time?
7 A You know I met Chirchir sometimes in the mosque, but we
8 did not be close to each other. Sometime I have a problem for
9 that.
10 THE COURT: This is when? How long have you known
11 him?
12 (Witness consults with the interpreter)
13 A I told you I did not know him clearly for but when we are
14 getting out of the mosque we see each other till I have a
15 problem and Mr. Wadih introduce me to him.
16 THE COURT: Sir, a date, approximate date?
17 MR. SCHMIDT: If I may, your Honor?
18 A It may be sometime August, September, 1996.
19 Q Is that when you were introduced to Salim Chirchir?
20 A Salim Chirchir, yes.
21 Q Prior to that you recognized him from the mosque?
22 A I saw him but we did not talk. Mostly in the mosque we
23 greet each other as we go.
24 Q What kind of problem did you have that caused you to be
25 introduced to Salim Chirchir?
4192
1 A I lost my documents.
2 Q And who recommended that you speak to Salim Chirchir?
3 A Mr. Wadih.
4 MR. SCHMIDT: At this time I wish to offer into
5 evidence WEHX-K-32.
6 MR. FITZGERALD: I object.
7 THE COURT: We'll save it for the last break and go
8 on to something else.
9 Q Did you know if Mr. El Hage had any dealings with Salim
10 Chirchir prior to you being introduced?
11 A I don't think there is any deal, because Salim Chirchir is
12 employee of the government, for that is not a businessman.
13 Q Yes. Did Mr. El Hage have any dealings with Salim
14 Chirchir as -- withdrawn.
15 Did Mr. El Hage have any kind of problem that he went
16 to Mr. Chirchir as a police detective to help him with?
17 A Yes. Mr. Chirchir told me that El Hage had a problem with
18 some house he give the money but rent for the money but they
19 did not give him back. For that, also somebody introduced him
20 to Salim Chirchir.
21 MR. SCHMIDT: Now, at this time I wish to offer into
22 evidence WEHX-W33-T which is a transcript of corresponding
23 tape NB1-012-1 dated November 8, 1996.

7 are we talking about?
8 A My house rent.
9 Q Why is Mr. El Hage checking on it?

11 directly. I have to use his telephone to call.
12 Q Okay. Thank you.

22 A Kenya of course.
23 Q Where in Kenya?
24 A You know different type of Kenya. The stone it is
25 available in one area called Bicut, Voy. This is the area
4194
1 where the stone is located and we get the location then we
2 take for that location.
3 Q It was your understanding that Mr. El Hage was the one
4 that was going to be having the responsibility dealing with
5 Mr. Taleb in this project as well as you?
6 A We planned to put that Taleb in Hong Kong with me, and we
7 supply the stone to him.
8 MR. SCHMIDT: Thank you.
9 (Exhibit continued read)
10 THE COURT: I misspoke a little earlier. I made
11 reference to our midafternoon recess, but since we're
12 adjourning at 3 o'clock, we'll take up that other matter at 3
13 o'clock.
14 MR. SCHMIDT: Now, at this time, your Honor I'd like
15 to offer into evidence WEHX-W7-E -- withdrawn. That's been
16 offered. I apologize.

10 Now, at this time wish we wish to enter WEHX-W15-E --
11 excuse me -- W15, a tape conversation on May 5, 1997 between
12 Daniel and Wadih. I ask that we display the draft transcript
13 and I guess we're going to read it to avoid hurting our ears.
14 MR. FITZGERALD: Can I have one moment, your Honor?
15 THE COURT: Yes.
16 (Pause)
17 MR. FITZGERALD: No objection.
18 THE COURT: Received.

24 offer into evidence the tape WEH-W9 and ask that the English
25 transcription be published for the jury to see related to
4197
1 NB1-033, and while this is not dated, we believe this is a
2 telephone call in December, 1996 between Wadih and David.
3 (Pause)
4 MR. FITZGERALD: No objection.
5 THE COURT: Received.
6 (Defendant's Exhibit WEH-W9 received in evidence)
7 MR. DRATEL: Mr. Larsen will read David's part and I

12 to offer into evidence two telephone conversations in English,
13 WEHX-W25 and W26. These are presently undated calls. Thank
14 you, your Honor.
15 MR. FITZGERALD: No objection.

25
4198
1 MR. DRATEL: Now we will read WHX-W26, which is a
2 conversation between Wadih and an unidentified female,
3 secretary for Dr. Massoy. Mr. Larsen will read the part of
4 the unidentified female, the secretary for Dr. Massoy, and I
5 will read the part of Wadih.
6 (Defense Exhibit WEHXW26 in evidence read to the
7 jury)
8 MR. SCHMIDT: Your Honor, we are going to read a
9 stipulation.
10 MR. DRATEL: It is hereby stipulated and agreed by
11 and between with the United States of America, by Mary Jo
12 White, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of

21 following items, among others, were recovered: WEHX-M-7X-23,
22 a letter dated June 24, 1997; WEHXM731, an undated letter, and
23 7X-39, letter dated November 29, 1996.
24 2. The following items with the suffix T are fair

11 necessity of calling and recalling multiple authentication
12 witnesses at trial during the government and defense cases.
13 Regarding the translations, the parties stipulate that if
14 called as a witness a person fluent in Arabic and English
15 would testify that the translations listed above are narrow
16 and accurate translations.
17 4. It is further stipulated and agreed that this
18 stipulation may be received in evidence as a defense exhibit
19 at trial.
20 THE COURT: Received.
21 MR. DRATEL: There is another stipulation. It is
22 hereby stipulated and agreed by and between the United States
23 of America, by Mary Jo White, the United States Attorney for
24 the Southern District of New York, Patrick J. Fitzgerald,
25 Kenneth M. Karas and Paul W. Butler, Assistant United States
4200
1 Attorneys, of counsel, and the defendants, by and with the
2 consent of their attorneys, as follows:
3 That the computer laptop seized by United States and
4 Kenyan officials August 21, 1997, 1523 Fedha Estates, Nairobi,
5 Kenya, the residence of Wadih el Hage and his family, and
6 previously introduced in evidence as Government's Exhibit 300,
7 contained within its hard drive the following files: El Hage

9 duty and VAT exemption dated May 4, 1996; WEHX-K31, May 28
10 application for reentry pass; and WEHX-K32, a letter dated
11 July 16, 1997.
12 3. It is further stipulated and agreed that the
13 government and the defendants are agreeing to the authenticity
14 of the documents as specifically described above and more
15 generally in the preceding paragraph. The government and the
16 defense reserve the right to object to the admissibility of
17 any particular item or the translation of same as each is
18 offered. It is the purpose of this stipulation to avoid the
19 necessity of calling and recalling multiple authentication
20 witnesses at trial during the government and defense cases.
21 4. It is further stipulated and agreed that this
22 stipulation may be received in evidence as a Defense Exhibit
23 at trial.
24 One more, your Honor.
25 THE COURT: Do you have exhibit numbers for these?
4201
1 MR. DRATEL: I was going to use --
2 THE COURT: Finish it first.
3 MR. DRATEL: It is hereby stipulated and agreed by
4 and between the United States of America by Mary Jo White,
5 United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York,
6 Patrick J. Fitzgerald, Kent M. Karas and Paul W. Butler,
7 Assistant United States Attorneys, of counsel, and the
8 defendants, by and with the consent of their attorneys, as
9 follows:
10 That for the time period from July 1996 through
11 September 1997, the Kenyan telephone number 254820067 was
12 assigned to a telephone located at 1523 Fedha Estates,
13 Nairobi, Kenya, which was the residence of Wadih El Hage and
14 his family. During that time period, the telephone was
15 wiretapped. Calls to and from the telephone number were being
16 intercepted and monitored in a secure location in the Nairobi,
17 Kenya, area. Facsimile transmissions from the wiretapped
18 telephone number were also intercepted during part of that
19 time period and were monitored in a secure location in the
20 Nairobi, Kenya, area.
21 2. That included among the tapes generated by the
22 wiretap were the following El Hage defense exhibits which were
23 recorded on or about the date and time indicated and outgoing
24 calls were placed to the telephone number indicated. I will
25 read the list --
4202
1 THE COURT: A list of telephone numbers?
2 MR. DRATEL: No, of exhibits, the transcripts or the
3 tapes that were put in evidence, your Honor. If you want me
4 to read it, I will read it.
5 THE COURT: I don't care if you read it or not. Give
6 it an exhibit number and introduce it.
7 MR. DRATEL: I will read the numbers and we will
8 introduce it. WEHX-W1; WEHX-W1E; WEHX-W3; WEHX-W4; WEHX-W5,
9 WEHX-W6; WEHX-W7; WEHX-W8; WEHX-W9; WEHX-W10; WEHX-W11;
10 WEHX-W12; WEHX-W13, WEHX-W14; WEHX-W15; WEHX-W16; WEHX-W17;
11 WEHX-W21; WEHX-W22; WEHX-W23; WEHX-W24; WEHX-W25; WEHX-W26;
12 WEHX-W27; WEHX-W28; WEHX-W29; WEHX-W30; WEHX-W31; WEHX-W33.
13 4. That for the time period from July 1996 through
14 September 1997, the Kenyan telephone number 25471202219 was
15 assigned to a telephone number in Nairobi, Kenya, that was
16 subscribed by Ahmad Sheik Aden. During that time period the
17 telephone was wiretapped. Calls to and from the telephone
18 number were being recorded on a tape recording machine in a
19 secure location in the Nairobi, Kenya, area.
20 5. That included among the tapes generated by the
21 wiretap were the following El Hage Defense Exhibits which were
22 recorded on or about the date indicated and outgoing calls
23 were placed to the telephone numbers indicated: WEHX-WW25,
24 WEHX-W26.
25 7. It is further stipulated and agreed that the
4203
1 government and the defendants are agreeing to the authenticity
2 of the documents as specifically described above and more
3 generally in the preceding paragraph. The government and the
4 defense reserve the right to object to the admissibility of
5 any particular item or the translation of same as each is
6 offered. It is the purpose of this stipulation to avoid the
7 necessity of calling and recalling multiple authentication
8 witnesses at trial during the government and defense cases
9 regarding the translation. Defendant El Hage represents that
10 if called as a witness, persons fluent in Arabic and English
11 and Swahili and English would testify that the translations
12 listed above are fair and accurate translations.
13 8. It is further stipulated and agreed that this
14 stipulation may be received in evidence as a defense exhibit
15 at trial.
16 That's it, paragraph 8. Thank you, your Honor.
17 MR. SCHMIDT: Your Honor, at this time we would like
18 to deal with the issue concerning WEHXK32, your Honor.
19 THE COURT: Ladies and gentlemen, we will call it a
20 day and we will resume tomorrow at 10:00 and we will have a
21 full day tomorrow.
22 (Jury excused)
23 MR. COHN: Your Honor, a technical matter, pragmatic
24 matter. Because the marshals can't hold Mr. Al-'Owhali beyond
25 4 and we need to talk to him in the back, Mr. Al-'Owhali, with
4204
1 the permission of the court, would waive his presence now so
2 that part of us can go back and talk with him, if that is OK.
3 THE COURT: Mr. Al-'Owhali, is that agreeable with
4 you?
5 DEFENDANT AL-'OWHALI: Yes.
6 THE COURT: Mr. Mohamed likewise would like to be
7 excused to talk in the back. Is that all right? The record
8 will reflect Mr. Mohamed said yes.
9 We will deal with that objection. I have some
10 questions of Mr. Schmidt as to how long he will be with this
11 witness and this line of testimony. Then we are dealing with
12 the supposed subpoena of Madeleine Albright. Let's take a
13 three-minute recess.
14 (Recess)
15 THE COURT: Before we turn to the specific objection,
16 Mr. Schmidt, how much longer do you expect to be with this
17 witness?
18 MR. SCHMIDT: Not very much longer. We may have one
19 or two short conversations and maybe a couple of exhibits.
20 THE COURT: Half hour?
21 MR. SCHMIDT: I would say at most.
22 THE COURT: Half hour at most, all right. What is
23 the exhibit to which there is objection?
24 MR. SCHMIDT: Your Honor, it is a letter --
25 THE COURT: Let me see it.
4205
1 MR. FITZGERALD: I will state the objection in two
2 words: Self-serving hearsay.
3 THE COURT: This is a letter dated July 16, 1997.
4 MR. FITZGERALD: The part where he says I am engaged
5 in relief work. The witness has been testifying, telling the
6 type of work he is doing.
7 THE COURT: How does that distinguish this letter
8 from the past day and a half we have had?
9 MR. FITZGERALD: I think they were all objectionable
10 as well.
11 THE COURT: Consistency -- overruled.
12 Who is your next witness, Mr. Schmidt?
13 MR. DRATEL: Your Honor, we will be calling Ashif
14 Juma for a very brief single purpose which I have discussed
15 with the government, which has to do with a government exhibit
16 that came in after his testimony for the government, and then
17 Sikander Juma, another witness who has to be produced by the
18 government, who I understand will be available tomorrow.
19 THE COURT: Are there any exhibits which are going to
20 be introduced which have not been identified to the
21 government?
22 MR. DRATEL: Yes, there may be, your Honor.
23 THE COURT: I said at the start of the trial that if
24 that occurred I would sustain an objection just for that very
25 reason. I have obviously not enforced that rule for the past
4206
1 two days because I realize there has been a delay getting the
2 documents and so on. But I will enforce it from here on.
3 MR. DRATEL: So the court is aware, these are
4 documents that were received from the government.
5 THE COURT: You have received hundreds of thousands
6 of documents from the government. Identify the night before
7 what exhibits so that we don't have this business going on of
8 a conference between questions. You lose continuity, it
9 distracts the jury, it wastes time.
10 MR. DRATEL: I agree, your Honor. We will notify the
11 government this afternoon and we will designate. One exhibit
12 that we will be showing is already in evidence, so that is not
13 an issue.
14 THE COURT: How long will that witness be?
15 MR. DRATEL: The second witness, maybe a half hour.
16 THE COURT: And the third witness?
17 MR. DRATEL: We have an expert, your Honor, whose
18 testimony on direct will be an hour -- I don't know how long
19 the government's cross will be, they anticipate, of the
20 current witness.
21 THE COURT: Is this the witness you complained about
22 lack of a report?
23 MR. FITZGERALD: Both experts there is a lack of
24 report but this was the adequacy of the report we complained
25 about. We will not be long with Mr. Odeh, so in terms of
4207
1 planning you can budget 15 minutes for cross.
2 If I can make a record, we did see exhibits for the
3 first time with insertions about how things got erroneously
4 put in the transcript by the government, things like that. I
5 will be making an objection in the future. We are getting
6 discovery of new documents over lunchtime, not just
7 transcripts. We were asking for reverse discovery for the
8 last six months and then documents show up the morning of or
9 at lunchtime. We are just making a record in case we make a
10 future application.
11 The second thing is, we are getting serious
12 logistical problems. With regard to witnesses under the
13 government's custody and control or under the government's
14 protection, we need notice as to who is testifying or not. It
15 is causing some problems. For example, I understand a retired
16 general from the U.S. Army has been subpoenaed. The
17 Department of Defense advised us that the service was
18 defective. He has a business appointment and is supposed to
19 be traveling. He was subpoenaed to court for this Friday when
20 there is no trial. To hold somebody hostage --
21 THE COURT: By whom was he subpoenaed?
22 MR. FITZGERALD: By the El Hage team.
23 MR. DRATEL: To complete the record with respect to
24 the other issues, the documents to which Mr. Fitzgerald
25 referred that he received at lunch --
4208
1 THE COURT: Forget that.
2 MR. DRATEL: I want to make sure it is complete.
3 Those documents he received days ago. They were not stamped
4 as exhibits. What he received this afternoon are the same
5 documents stamped as exhibits. That's the only difference.
6 With respect to the Jumas --
7 THE COURT: I want to make clear, whether the defense
8 case one week or three weeks really isn't my concern. I just
9 think it is contrary to your client's interests to not have
10 the matters proceed in a smooth fashion.
11 What about this general who was subpoenaed for
12 Friday?
13 MR. SCHMIDT: Your Honor, once we found out that
14 there would not be a Somalia stip, I immediately subpoenaed a
15 retired general who was in charge of the troops for the
16 October 3 and 4 incidents. If it was on Friday, that was an
17 error. I had spoken to him after service. I explained to him
18 that if a stipulation does work out that he won't be needed,
19 that he might be needed. I knew he traveled and therefore I
20 wanted to try to reach him as soon as possible. I also
21 learned that the other retired general who was in charge of
22 the American troops in Somalia, the quick reaction force
23 subpoena had been returned unserved. He is apparently out of
24 the country now and I cannot locate him now. This is the one
25 that came back.
4209
1 Third was the person who prepared the after-action
2 report or was responsible for the after-action report there,
3 which we still do not have. We are trying our best to fill in
4 the holes on the Somalia issue and that's the problem.
5 THE COURT: I accept that, but now -- and I take it
6 this witness's only objection is to the time?
7 MR. FITZGERALD: I haven't spoken to the witness, but
8 he was leaving on a business trip tomorrow.
9 THE COURT: For how long?
10 MR. FITZGERALD: I got a message -- it sounds like a
11 week or two. He is going on an overseas trip. He is retired
12 but on business. He has a subpoena for Friday. The
13 Department of Defense sent Mr. Schmidt a letter indicating the
14 ways in which the subpoena was defective. I haven't spoken to
15 the general.
16 THE COURT: Today is Tuesday. Can he be available
17 Thursday? Does anyone know?
18 MR. SCHMIDT: Judge, I don't know what the government
19 case is at this point as to Somalia. We haven't gotten all
20 the discovery material.
21 THE COURT: What do you want? What do you want to be
22 told to this retired general who is about to leave the country
23 for a week? You can't put a hold on him.
24 MR. SCHMIDT: If he is available to come with a day
25 or two notice to return to the United States, then he can do
4210
1 it.
2 THE COURT: Ask him to advise you when he will return
3 to the United States, and when you have that information, pass
4 it on to Mr. Schmidt.
5 MR. FITZGERALD: Yes, Judge. Just so we are clear,
6 that was his personal objection. There is a Department of
7 Defense objection to the subpoena and I am not waiving CIPA.
8 MR. SCHMIDT: I haven't received anything from the
9 Department of Defense, your Honor.
10 THE COURT: This really brings me very logically to
11 the matter of the Madeleine Albright subpoena. We have had
12 significant colloquy with respect to that, and I still believe
13 that certain matters which were set forth as proposed areas of
14 inquiry of the witness would not be permitted. An example
15 that comes to mind is the awareness of threats and the failure
16 to close the embassy or take other precautions. I think I
17 have made my views known sufficiently both orally and in
18 memorandum.
19 The other thing that occurs to me is, even if one
20 overcomes the hurdle of the content, of the subject matter,
21 the defendant has chosen an individual which raises questions,
22 one, as to her availability, and, two, whether she is the
23 proper witness. I understand the defendants' strong
24 motivation to get before the jury her interview on 60 Minutes.
25 There are ways that that could take place assuming it were
4211
1 admissible, without her being on the stand. But we don't
2 know -- none of us know -- I assume none of us know. Perhaps
3 the government has been in contact with her -- her
4 availability.
5 The other thing is, I take it her personal views, her
6 personal opinions on any of these matters is really
7 irrelevant. She may have been personally of a view which was
8 different than the administration view. I am not suggesting
9 that she was or was not. I am simply suggesting that she is
10 not really being subpoenaed as a private citizen but as
11 somebody who is a spokesman for government policy.
12 I note that the State Department regulations defining
13 employees specifically include former employees.
14 All of which -- let me ask another question. For
15 these purposes would the United States Attorney's office be
16 her legal representative?
17 MR. GARCIA: Your Honor, in conjunction with the
18 State Department, I think under a similar scheme as the
19 Department of Defense, the regulations provide for input from
20 the Justice Department when these agents are subpoenaed.
21 THE COURT: My inclination, just as yesterday with
22 the subpoenas of AFP -- the issue was readily resolved after
23 the subpoena was issued. My inclination is to sign the
24 subpoena, which I have not yet done, to make it very clear, as
25 I did with the subpoenas on the media, that I am imposing no
4212
1 court imprimatur on the subpoenas. I am not ruling on any of
2 the many weighty objections that might be made to the subpoena
3 both with respect to the subject matter, with respect to
4 whether she is a proper or not or not. But if we discover
5 that she too has prior plans or commitments which would
6 preclude her being here, what might be very profound legal
7 issues would disappear.
8 So that is what I would propose doing, but if anyone
9 objects to that I would hear you.
10 MR. BAUGH: I do wish to note, your Honor, that
11 unlike Mr. Schmidt's application for the issuance of a
12 subpoena for a retired general, we have issued a subpoena in
13 the punishment phase of the death case. Quite candidly, if
14 this were a subpoena for Joe the Ragman, they would be brought
15 here and I can find no distinction in the statute that because
16 this person Madeleine Albright is a former lofty ambassador of
17 good standing in our nation there is no difference in their
18 obligation --
19 THE COURT: You want to argue the merits now. You
20 know, I can't win. You want me to sign a subpoena. I have
21 said I think I should sign the subpoena. Now you want to
22 object to my doing that?
23 MR. BAUGH: My concern was the caveat you put after
24 that, and that is if Mrs. Albright, if an ambassador has a
25 scheduling problem and if she is the best witness for this
4213
1 issue, then at that juncture, rather than try to bring in
2 someone else, we will either have her made available or
3 continue the matter until she can become available.
4 THE COURT: That is really incredible, that you
5 should make that point now. You know, I have tried to suggest
6 that it may be entirely unnecessary and counterproductive to
7 deal with these matters in the abstract.
8 MR. BAUGH: I agree, your Honor.
9 THE COURT: Unless you want me to rule on the merits
10 of all these issues in the abstract, but I do not think that
11 would be a prudent course for you to follow.
12 MR. BAUGH: Nor I, your Honor, but I don't want the
13 court to assume, as the government did in its response, that
14 by acquiescing to certain statements by the court and not
15 responding to them in the record at this time that I am
16 conceding those issues, and the government seems to assert
17 that in its responsive pleading. As long as we have that
18 understanding, your Honor, I am ready to sit down.
19 THE COURT: Is there any objection to my signing the
20 subpoena, understanding the reason why I sign it is simply to
21 move the matter forward to the next step and without in any
22 way indicating that I think that she is a proper party, that
23 service will be made in the proper fashion or any and all
24 other defenses that might be made?
25 MR. GARCIA: No, your Honor, I certainly understand
4214
1 that. One point, not to be argumentative. I think what we
2 are seeing with a lot of these subpoenas, and Mr. Schmidt's
3 subpoena, is a complete disregard for the CFR regulations,
4 which provide a basis to quash and for requesting the
5 information that is put forward, which seems to serve a
6 twofold purpose. One is to protect the government and give a
7 basis for moving to quash, and the other is to give the
8 defendant a basis to say that this is relevant material and it
9 is relevant to my defense. Without that we are going to be in
10 a posture where the State Department, like the Department of
11 Defense, is going to come back and say the notice is
12 defective, we don't know what they want, we don't know what
13 the relevancy is. I understand, your Honor, that we are
14 pushing that day off, but by doing that we are getting by a
15 preliminary hurdle that might focus the issues at a later
16 date.
17 THE COURT: I am not sure. You know, the cases all
18 deal -- not all, but primarily deal with quashing. There is
19 nothing to quash until a subpoena is in fact signed. My
20 efforts, really in the interests of expedition, to
21 shortcircuit, I think have not been fruitful.
22 If you resubmit the subpoena I will sign it, as I
23 say, reserving to both sides all rights.
24 Anything further?
25 MR. GARCIA: Nothing. Thank you.
4215
1 THE COURT: Thank you.
