Which of the following statements about the Saudi man is CORRECT?

The Pentagon has recently announced charges in the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole. A Saudi man is being charged with "organizing and directing" the attack which killed 17 American sailors. The Pentagon is seeking the death penalty. The charges still must be approved by a Defense Department official who oversees military tribunals set up for terrorism suspects. Now the alleged plotter, whose name is Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, is the first person to be charged in the bombing. He’s been held at the US military prison at Guantanamo for the past two years. Al-Nashiri told a hearing last year that he was tortured into confessing.
