September 11 victims 'should have seen Bin Laden in court'

A leading Muslim in the UK has said Osama bin Laden should have been put up for trial for the September 11 attacks instead of being killed.

Mohammed Shafiq, chief executive of UK Muslim thinktank the Ramadhan Foundation, said: "Osama bin Laden has been responsible for preaching hatred and using terrorism to kill innocent people around the world and it would have been more suitable for him to be captured alive and put on trial in an international court for the crimes he has committed.
