Ahmed Abdulkadir Warsame was captured in April on charges of providing weapons and military training to two notorious terrorist organizations - Al-Shabab and Al-Qaida - in the Arab peninsula.
He's also charged with using automatic weapons and explosives in the name of their cause.
The case against Warsame answers one large question about the Obama administration's strategy against terrorism: What would they do when capturing a major terrorist overseas since the CIA's so-called 'black sites' have been shut down?
In the case of Warsame, he was held and interrogated aboard a United States warship for two months before being brought to New York to face the terrorism charges.
How do you feel the Obama administration should handle such cases? Sound off below.
