Judge Rejects Request To Exclude Jews From Jury In Accused Terrorist's Trial

A federal district court judge in New York City yesterday denied a motion by counsel for an accused terrorist who wanted to exclude Jews from the jury because there will be inflammatory testimony at trial about Jews and Zionism.  ABC News reports that Frederick Cohn, the lawyer representing Abdel Hameed Shehadeh who is accused of making false statements about plans to kill Americans in Afghanistan, initially made the request last month to Judge Eric Vitaliano.
