From Times Wire Reports
A federal judge postponed the June trial of terrorism suspect Zacarias Moussaoui, allowing time for an appellate court to decide whether he can have access to an Al Qaeda prisoner.
U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema, who did not set a new date, has issued a secret ruling that would allow Moussaoui access to the prisoner, suspected Sept. 11 mastermind Ramzi Binalshibh, an official said.
The U.S. has notified the court it will contest the ruling in the U.S. 4th Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond.
