DENVER—Four convicted terrorists are asking a federal appeals court in Denver to review their solitary confinement at a maximum federal penitentiary in Colorado and change the process that sent them there.
An attorney for airplane hijacker Omar Rezaq and 1993 World Trade Center bomb conspirators Ibrahim Elgabrowny, El-Sayyid Nosair and Mohammed Saleh told the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday the prisoners were moved to Supermax from less-restrictive prisons between 1997 and 2003, and they want to go back.
Government prosecutors argued the lawsuits are moot because the four prisoners have been moved to other prisons following their complaints and they were treated no differently than other prisoners.
The story was first reported by the Denver Post ().
