It’s been many years since the horrific 9/11 attack on the U.S twin towers. Many lives were lost and loved ones are still coping with their losses. However, the devastating event, and the perpetrators of the attack are now being put on trial. The five September 11 terror attack suspects will be put on trial this month.

But there is just one thing stopping them. It looks highly likely that the Obama administration will no longer hold the trial of the five suspects in a federal courthouse in New York City. According to official sources, alternative locations are being studied after lawmakers and New York City officials showed concern about security and costs.

The republican legislation is arguing for a military hearing for the terror attack suspects, but the White House still follows Attorney General Eric holder’s suggestion to pursue a civilian trial. So now the question remains, if not in New York City, where will this trial be held?

Conservatives still argue that the Obama administration should hold military tribunals for the 9/11 suspects at this controversial detention facility, which already is equipped to handle them. But human rights and legal organizations have repeatedly challenged it because it denied defendants many of the rights they would be granted in a civilian courtroom.

Plenty of terrorist suspects have been tried and convicted here, including Zacarias Moussaoui. But providing security wouldn't be cheap, as the federal courthouse is just across the Potomac River from the White House and Capitol.
