3rd Trial Possible In Alleged Sears Tower Plot

MIAMI (AP) ― Despite two mistrials, federal prosecutors say they will try a third time to convict six men accused of scheming with Al Qaeda to topple Chicago's Sears Tower and bomb FBI offices in several cities.

The decision was announced at a hearing Wednesday before U.S. District Judge Joan Lenard. She declared a mistrial last week in the second trial because jurors could not agree on any verdicts. The first trial in the case ended the same way in December, except one defendant was acquitted.

It was not immediately clear when the third trial would begin. Defense attorneys planned to seek bail for several of the men, who have been in custody since their highly publicized June 2006 arrests.
