Six Miami men face a third trial in January on charges they plotted with the al-Qaeda international terrorist organization to destroy Chicago's Sears Tower and bomb FBI offices, according to the Associated Press. Prosecutors say alleged ringleader Narseal Batiste and the other men swore an allegiance oath to al-Qaeda and talked about terrorism plots.
Two previous trials have ended in hung juries. One man was acquitted after the first and is being deported to Haiti. US District Judge Joan Lenard said Monday that jury selection will likely begin January 13.
